Shedding from minoxidil use does not occur for everyone and should be temporary, and there is no connection between this shedding and your age. See Hair Loss Worse After Rogaine for more. You’re focused on Rogaine (minoxidil) and at 19 years old, your hair loss most certainly will be genetic. Propecia (finasteride) is the best […]

I appreciate your situation, but your fear of Propecia (finasteride 1mg) makes no sense to me. If you took the medication and experienced a negative sexual side effect (1% of men), the drug will be out of your blood stream in 24-48 hours from the time you stop taking it. There is nothing permanent about […]
I generally develop a Master Plan with each patient, unique to that patient. What I feel my job is, is to do what is in your best interests and that includes combining what you want and what I feel is ethical. Many patients have different priorities, so my job would be to come to some […]
Perhaps your donor scar is higher than normal, but this can be a normal thing as the doctor will make subtle judgment calls during the procedure. It may bother you cosmetically, but there is not much you can do other than to grow your hair long enough to cover the scar. From a long term […]
Hair loss is a progressive process and if you think about it, you can logically figure out if the Master Plan made by your trichologist makes common sense. Certainly, I approach the problem with a solution (Propecia and/or minoxidil) and continue treatments that are successful. The idea of starting minoxidil and withdrawing it if it […]
I have been taking Propecia (and no other medication to treat my hair loss) for over 5 years. The success rates of Propecia depend on what you consider success. You will still continue to lose hair if you are genetically prone to losing all your hair but it may slow to a crawl. Propecia can […]
This is not a multiple choice test. You need to be evaluated by a doctor who knows the field and can diagnose genetic hair loss. Hopefully, the doctor will map out your scalp hair for miniaturization and lock in the diagnosis. Your physician (along with you) should then build a Master Plan for your hair […]
None of the other things you are taking to treat your hair loss actually have known benefits on hair loss. The presence of Crohn’s disease can induce hair loss as well as some of the medications to treat this disease (like steroids when they are used). You need a doctor who you trust and will […]
This is an important question, because the doctor is putting hair where it has disappeared, but the process of losing hair is not static. With progressive hair loss that comes with genetic alopecia, you need to have a Master Plan and a good doctor. The doctor should lay out the worst case scenario for you […]
Many men who lift weights also take anabolic steroids, which cause a man to accelerate hair loss. I doubt the truth in what I read here and remain skeptical. Just keep doing what you like and continue taking Propecia (finasteride 1mg). If your hair loss gets worse, then see the doctor who prescribed it to […]
The marketing material for Estrodex says that it “creates an anabolic environment by decreasing estrogen and increasing testosterone levels”. I am confused here — are you male or female and why are you taking something that impacts your hormones? You are all over the place with your drugs and treatments and I suspect that you […]
Fine hair or very fine hair or long hair have nothing to do with balding. If you are balding it is highly likely that it is your genetics. You are focusing way too much on your hair. You can lose 100 even 200 hairs EACH DAY. Losing 10 to 15 is lower than normal daily […]
You need a good doctor to work with you! Propecia (finasteride 1mg) and Avodart (dutasteride 0.5mg) are prescription items so you must already have a doctor, right? These DHT blockers do not always work at noticeable levels if your genetics are moving very fast. The way I manage it is to get a baseline by […]
Any good doctor can do this and it is critical (particularly at 16 years old) that you get excellent metrics from a miniaturization study to determine what is happening to your hair before starting on a life long course of Propecia (finasteride 1mg). You need a Master Plan for your overall management of your hair […]
If the hair loss is early or just starting, simple drug use with Propecia (finasteride 1mg) is often the best approach to slow, stop, or reverse the hair loss. Propecia is a prescription medication, so you’ll need to meet with your doctor. I’m not convinced that the laser treatments actually are worth the time or […]
