Many drugs can cause hair loss, but my position has always been to explore other, more common causes of hair loss before blaming the drug. More importantly you need to discuss starting or stopping any medication with your physician. Lamisil is often used in the treatment of fungal diseases of the skin, such as ringworm […]

While hair loss is not listed as a side effect on the documentation for tetracycline, Tazorac (tazarotene), or Differin (adapalene), there are some unconfirmed reports about hair loss and Differin that I found on a message board. Take this for what you will. Once again, these are unconfirmed reports. The most common cause of hair […]
I highly doubt Couvre causes hair loss. You can use minoxidil with scalp coloring agents. For more on Couvre, see their site here. I suspect you are losing hair due to general male pattern hair loss as it is a progressive process (something we do not like to admit). Hair loss should slow down as […]
It might be a trial and error thing. Put your priorities in order. First, get the medication right for your heart and then learn to deal with any hair impact. Changing your beta blocker (putting you at risk with your heart) to find out about hair (which could take months) does not make sense to […]
It can be days, weeks, or months. People react differently. Keep in mind that the cause of hair loss due to a certain medication use is usually the very last on the list of many other more common causes for hair loss.
I will attempt to correct any confusion that I may have caused: DHT is a by-product of testosterone which occurs as the liver breaks down testosterone into DHT. Thus, having more testosterone will produce more DHT. DHT is responsible for genetic male pattern balding (MPB) or androgenic alopecia. In other words, if you do NOT […]
Postpartum hair loss in women is not uncommon. It should return within a year or so. Stress can cause hair loss in those that are genetically prone, and so I have seen hair loss in men and women who had stressful dental surgery — or any stressful surgery or illness. There is no connection between […]
Balding can start at any age. You should get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to determine if there is a pattern to the thinning. Medications can cause hair loss, and in fact, there are a lot of medications that seem to list this as a known side effect. If there is miniaturization, then Propecia […]
Very high doses of vitamin A could cause hair loss. Remember that this is for the very high doses and regular doses that are necessary for our daily maintenance should not affect the hair growth/loss. I don’t think your vitamins have been responsible for seborrheic dermatitis and I don’t think usual doses of vitamins in […]
Inflammation of scalp (and eczema) may cause hair loss from scratching when you comb and/or brush your hair, as it may pull out if you are not careful with it. Using a good conditioner will help soften the scales and separate them from any crusts.
Tattoos can potentially cause hair loss, because the needle and the ink may damage the hair follicle. In general though, it does not.
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 […]
First degree burns will not produce hair loss. I suspect from what you said, the burn was even less significant. If you constantly get sunburns or prolonged sun exposure, the UV light from the sun will damage the infrastructure of the skin and that is what causes skin cancers (amongst other skin problems).
Occurrence of hair loss can be due to several factors. Although most the common cause of hair loss at your age is male pattern baldness, anxiety could be considered an aggravating factor for your hair loss. Hair loss is not one of the commonly known side effects of Xanax. We hear from our patients who […]
I have not heard from anyone that Toppik has caused hair loss. You might want to try DermMatch if you do think Toppik isn’t working for you.
