Diet and an adequate daily intake of vitamins are often a problem with alcoholics, and as you appear to have started to address these issues, it will hopefully become better in the long term. This is a complex problem in that you may have genetic factors in addition to what has impacted your general nutritional […]

Dr. Reddy’s Finax is generic finasteride and sold in 1mg and 5mg doses. I believe that their production in India is an FDA approved facility, but sale of the generic 1mg in the US would be a violation of the patent rights of Merck… which is why this medication isn’t available here in the US […]
For those readers who does not know about trichodynia, it is a condition where the patient experiences a painful, burning sensation on their scalp. From Wikipedia — “Often there is an underlying psychosomatic cause, such as stress, depression or anxiety.” It also could be caused by trauma to a nerve(s) from the surgical wounds created […]
Eyebrow hair goes through a normal life cycle just like the hair anywhere else on your body, but this doesn’t sound like natural cycling based on what you describe. If you have been rubbing the eyebrows (more about the repetition as opposed to the aggressiveness), this can cause traction alopecia to the hair on the […]
In medicine, as in life, things are not so clear cut. I cannot say for sure if your hair loss was due to a medication such as Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate), but there are reports of hair loss with this medication. In fact, I’ve written about it in the past. So if it is the Lexapro, […]
You may inherit the genes from one side of your family, so what you can expect will reflect the inheritance pattern, which varies widely in different family lines. Young men with hair loss (and miniaturization) will find that Propecia (finasteride) will slow down the genetic component of hair loss. I can’t specifically say whether you’re […]
The stomach will probably destroy the minoxidil when taken orally unless it was put into some compounds for oral ingestion. Minoxidil was originally on the market for blood pressure control many years ago, sold as a pill called Loniten… but for the best results as a hair loss treatment, topical is the way to go. […]
Yes, you can certainly lose hair from stress caused from your extreme anxiety. It could precipitate your genetic balding earlier than it would’ve, as is generally the case for men that have stress induced loss. It sounds like you need a good, caring doctor to get your anxiety under control.
Snippet from the article: Read the rest of the article — More support urged over hair loss Some people take it in stride, and others are genuinely distraught about losing their hair. There’s no right or wrong way to be when you are watching yourself get balder and balder. Emotions can run wild when your […]
First off, you said that you’re taking Proscar (finasteride). I hope you’re cutting the pill if you’re taking it to treat your hair loss. Proscar is 5mg of finasteride — you only need 1mg daily to treat hair loss (marketed as Propecia). You’re seeing good results from the combination of treatments, but if you stop […]
Rogaine (minoxidil) will not impact normal hair. If you have no side effects from its use, you can apply it as directed twice a day and wait out 8-12 months to see if it works. You won’t notice anything in the first month, and if you stop the medication in 2 months you’re not going […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full article at Taiwan News. Stress can trigger hair loss… that has been known. Alleviate the stress and you might see your hair regrow, particularly in women where MPB isn’t a factor. For men, stress may just trigger the genetic hair loss you would’ve experienced down the line anyway. […]
The medication you know as Lustral (sertraline) is also commonly known as Zoloft. And as you may know, many antidepressants (including Zoloft) can cause temporary hair loss, possibly even permanent loss in those genetically inclined to lose hair. I can’t say for sure whether the stop/start method you’re using with the medication will always continue […]
You’ve written to me about this a few times and I’ve tried to answer your questions before, apparently without much success. One that comes to mind is Is Propecia Making Me Lose My Quick Wit?… and I’m sure there’s others. You’re still the only person that has described this to me, and I think you’re […]
The symptom of a decreased penis size is not a reported side effect of Propecia and I have no experience with it. I’ve certainly never had any patients tell me about this, and frankly, I’ve been taking the medication for years and don’t have that issue. Are you in a colder climate? Feeling a lot […]
