So to summarize… you hit your head, which caused a bruise, followed by a scab. After the scab came off, you became worried that it would leave a scar and hair wouldn’t grow in that area again. You can’t see a scar, you don’t have a bald spot in the injury area, but you’re paranoid. […]

If you’re maybe a Norwood Class 2 at 35 years old, you shouldn’t be so quick to make the assumption that you’ll see a progression of hair loss all the way to a Norwood 7 just because you see some thinning when you move your hair around. Is there a chance? Sure, anything is possible. […]
I doubt that Propecia (finasteride) will protect against possible hair loss from Accutane (isotretinoin). There aren’t known interactions between the two medications, but this subject needs to be discussed with the treating doctor, not with us over the web.
Accutane (isotretinoin) does work well for treating acne, but unfortunately one of its many side effects is hair loss. I suspect hair loss from Accutane is temporary, but it may accelerate the male pattern balding process. Only time will tell. I really do not have much experience with patients taking Accutane (nor do I prescribe […]
Your haircut didn’t contribute to your hairline changing. What it sounds like (without photos, I’m just making an assumption) is that your hairline is starting to mature. This is premature around your age, but it happens. Your new hairstyle might be contributing to your hair looking thinner on top, but I don’t know enough about […]
Imagine looking out your window when you’re in an airplane on a sunny day and seeing some thin, short trees. You’d probably be able to see the ground in between them. Now imagine looking out that same window on a gloomy day and seeing thick, tall redwoods. You probably won’t be able to see the […]
I frankly can not tell you if you have a connection between drug-induced hair loss from years earlier or if you just have male pattern baldness from genetic causes. It is true that Accutane (isotretinoin) does seem to cause hair loss, but I can not comment on an 8 year gap between taking the drug […]
Accutane (isotretinoin) does impact the quality of hair that grows, but it should not change direction. I would suspect that because of the changes in your hair character, the different direction of hair in one area was more easily noticed by you.
Our hair grows to a fixed maximum length and if your is shoulder length, that is your maximum length. I am sure you have seen hair loss over the months and years since your last haircut when you were 7 years old. Men usually have a shorter maximal length than women, but everyone is different. […]
No, I don’t believe you’ll see a shed from switching. Most people who switch from Propecia to Proscar do it for economic reasons, as the 5mg pill is substantially less expensive (particularly the generic 5mg, since there is no generic 1mg legally available in the U.S.). I wish the drug company, Merck, would get that […]
First, try to find out how the equipment is cleaned between clients. It should be soaked in a solution that is sold to the salons for this purpose. Don’t relate it to how much you pay your hair dresser, as anyone that does not properly clean their equipment can spread a fungus.
Traction alopecia reflects pulling on the hair. Long hair under a turban would do that, so as you are keeping your hair outside the turban, then that hair will not be pulled and the insult that is causing the hair loss will have been obviated. Shaving your head might keep the traction off your scalp, […]
Hair loss from drug related causes (while rare) should stop and reverse when the drugs are stopped, but this process can take months (up to a year). In the case of Accuane (isotretinoin), many people report that it caused permanent hair loss, but more likely is that it started the genetic process earlier. Aside from […]
Accutane (isotretinoin) can cause hair loss. Hair loss from Accutane is not associated with hair loss from male pattern baldness (which is DHT related hair loss). So there is a potential you may lose hair (even transplanted hair), although that is unlikely. Unfortunately, this is theoretical and I do not have a clear answer for […]
It would be unlikely to lose grafts 1 weeks post surgery, however, if the skin separated that distance and healed on its own, it will develop a scar in the area. I am sure you have seen many men with these small scars in their heads that came from such injuries.
