Based on what you’re telling me, it doesn’t sound serious. Cysts can be caused by hair getting pulled, and it sounds unlikely that if someone pulled your hair out that you would not know when it happened. Hair pulled out once will not cause a problem and it would regrow. See your family doctor and […]

It is very clear that you need to see a doctor and be examined. You may have recurrent folliculitis (a type of infection of hair follicles). The internet is not a substitute for a good doctor.
You describe an unfortunate, but a real and relatively rare complication with the surgery. I am not clear if what you refer to as “dead skin” is really “skin necrosis” or hair loss seen around the donor wound on the scalp that is not necrotic. Small areas are easy to treat, large areas can produce […]
Simply put, if you let the fungal infections go on for years, it might look like patterned hair loss to the inexperienced eye. For more on fungal infections, see Wikipedia – mycosis.
I have seen similar patients who have had scalp reconstruction and were left with bad scars. It is not really possible for me to assess what was done from you brief narrative, but when scars become stable, hair transplantation works well to cover many of these scars. Bad scarring occurs in accident, in neurosurgery cases, […]
All medical facilities should follow established operating guidelines, but there are no guarantees. The HIV virus dies almost immediately when the virus is outside of the body and exposed to air. Hepatitis is more robust and some forms of the virus can move more easily between people. One of the reassurances may be to ask […]
You are doing the right thing by seeing your doctor. It is impossible for me to give you any medical advice without examining you myself. Please follow up with your doctor and ask him these questions or if you are not satisfied, get a second opinion. Certainly, recipient sites should not be draining at any […]
I do not think that your testicle infection should be the cause of high testosterone or your hair loss. If you have a high testosterone level, I would want to know why. Your hair loss pattern from the pictures you sent show an incomplete Norwood Class 4A pattern. That is fairly extensive in your frontal […]
A staph infection can be very dangerous to the newly transplanted grafts. Your doctor probably had cultures done and knows the organism that is growing. Your doctor should also know what antibiotics will be effective for it. Speak with your doctor and ask him/her these questions. Pimples of pus are common in an infection, but […]
How do you know that you have a fungal infection? If you have a fungal infection, then you need to treat it with anti-fungal medications, not over-the-counter shampoos. You might want to get a 2nd opinion.
Infections can cause hair loss. Your email is not clear for me to understand what you are really asking. I would suggest that you ask your dermatologist, who seems to understand what is happening. Get the doctor to explain it to you. A good patient-doctor (or in your case, parent-doctor) relationship is important and can […]
First, you may want to stop much of what you are doing, as you may be causing your own problems. Then, if it continues, seek out a good dermatologist. If you are experiencing genetic hair loss, none of what you are doing will address the cause of the balding or thinning. People who treat themselves […]
The absence of body hair is alopecia universalis, an autoimmune problem which is most frequently genetic. Clearly your infection precipitated the condition but the genetics were hiding under the surface. You need to see a good dermatologist. Visit MedlinePlus and DermNet NZ for more information about alopecia.
I saw this photo posted and decided to comment on it. There are many things wrong with this surgery, and as I don’t know the age of the patient nor the number of grafts he received, it is hard to complete my assessment; nevertheless, it is important for those of you who are considering a […]
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240206170882/en/Stemson-Therapeutics-Announces-Technological-Breakthrough-in-New-Hair-Growth Hair has been cloned before. I was told that the problem encountered was when they put the cloned hairs into mice, they all died of infected hair follicles. This was because the hairs grew in all directions and didn’t orient themselves properly; hair grew out of skin. Think of hair as a complex organ […]
