1. Dandruff doesn’t cause permanent hair loss. It is a skin issue. 2. See above answer. If you’re constantly scratching your scalp or brushing out the dandruff, it’s possible you could be causing hair loss. 3. Efficacy or safety of topical cortisone is something that is a doctor/patient issue. Sometimes the use of steroids can […]

Are you planning of shaving your entire head? If so, the Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) procedure will cost $7,000 and will include up to 2 touch-ups in the first year. The process often takes one or two touch-ups, as early as 5 days after the first, and then a month or two for a second. The […]
“It ain’t so!” I suppose your donor area can look patchy with little white dot scars if you have 3000+ FUE grafts extracted. This occurs when your original density was average or less than average. People with high density hair often will not show the white scars (dots) at all. Even with 1000 FUE grafts, […]
Prior scalp reductions are not a reason why a hair transplant surgery would not work. Many patients that had scalp reductions in the 1980s and early 90s followed them up with hair transplantation with relative success (growth was fine, but they were the pluggy look from back then). I think the best thing for you […]
I really couldn’t make an attempt at an answer to what you are asking without examining you myself. So I’m not sure what it could be. If it is indeed seborrheic dermatitis, treatments are usually limited to antifungal shampoos. You didn’t mention which meds you were prescribed, so I’m kind of at a loss there, […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full text at Chicago Tribune — Why do women sometimes lose their hair? These types of articles get published by a major newspaper every other month or so, and while they’re good reminders about the causes of female hair loss, they don’t offer any new solutions. There are so […]
Don’t they teach sexual education in high school? You will not get a sexually transmitted disease (STD) if you touch a vagina and then touch your head… perhaps unless you have a bleeding, open wound on your scalp. And even then it’s quite a stretch. Syphilis can cause patchy hair loss in later stages, but […]
I have heard from a small number of patients who describe what you are going though with the less body hair growth, but after a few years of Propecia use. At least your scalp hair loss has subsided… and who could be upset about less back hair, right? Regardless, it doesn’t indicate any future regrowth […]
Flaking of the skin from seborrheic dermatitis itself does not cause hair loss, but if the scalp is picked and the flakes are pulled off, then hair loss can be a result of that process (meaning the hair will come off with the plaque). If a person picks on it regularly, that person can develop […]
I don’t know how much or what type of hair you have, so I couldn’t begin to give you any kind of remote guess as to what you can expect from a FUE procedure. You’re getting ahead of yourself. Every rule has exceptions and to determine what you should do, first get examined by an […]
The eyebrow telogen cycle lasts about 9 months, so for hairs that fall out, it would take up to 9 months for them to return. I suspect that the growth phase is also shorter than scalp hair, possibly 3-6 months, which means that the growth of eyebrow hair occurs in short periods of time. We […]
Seborrheic dermatitis is more commonly known as dandruff… and no, dandruff does not cause permanent hair loss. I suppose if you scratch your scalp and pull on your hair enough it can cause patchy hair loss. Your dandruff and your hair loss are most likely unrelated though, particularly if you’re experiencing patterned loss. The gene […]
While I highly doubt in vitro fertilization (IVF) causes hair loss, if what you described was generalized, I would expect that the massive hormone manipulations that occur with IVF could cause diffuse hair loss. The descriptive nature of “nickle sized bald spots” is suggestive of conditions like alopecia areata. I would recommend seeing your dermatologist […]
This is unlikely. Most children without much hair are just delayed growing their hair. Assuming the the hair is patchy, one would look to your pediatrician for the diagnosis of ringworm, alopecia areata (rare). Complete absence of hair on the head and eyebrows could reflect other types of alopecias, but I do not want to […]
From the article: See the full article — Battling baldness in babies The article is basically a big plug for a company that makes what appears to be satin pads to put under a baby’s head to prevent traction. It is normal for babies to have patchy hair, as their hair changes from baby hair […]
