It seems you are doing the right thing by seeing a dermatologist. I don’t know what I can offer you in the month you have to wait to see the dermatologist that will change your outlook or regrow your eyebrow. I don’t know why you lost only one side of your eyebrow. It sounds strange. […]

As far as I am aware, you can take Paxil and Propecia, but you need to ask your prescribing doctor before starting or stopping any medication as he/she may have more insight into what is going on with your problems. I am not your doctor and my suggestion to you is to speak to your […]
I would trust your doctor to treat your thyroid issues with the dose of medication that he prescribed, but Synthroid (levothyroxine) does list “mild hair loss” as a possible side effect (see Drugs.com). While hair loss from a thyroid issue is possible, it is unlikely to continue as you are being treated for your thyroid […]
I really couldn’t tell you what you have without an examination, but psoriasis may start off with red areas on the skin leading to flaking and eruptions. These red areas, when they impact the scalp that is covered by hair, may not show up well. There is a fine line in the diagnosis between seborrhea […]
No, no, no steroids! They are generally bad for your hair. Steroid-based ointments, creams, lotions, or potions will not regrow the hair you lost. Hair loss from years of using tight weaves is usually permanent. The constant pulling from the weave in your hair likely caused traction alopecia. You should see a hair transplant surgeon […]
I can understand young men experimenting with drugs, as illegal and harmful as they may be, but it is strange that a young man would knowingly be taking female hormones. Does he have gender identification issues? Hair loss can be a source for depression for many young men, but I would be less concerned about […]
You need to go see your doctor for a physical examination and possible testing. While Propecia can cause a decreased sex drive (in 1 to 2% of men), it is temporary since the drug only lasts in your blood stream for about one day. After one year, I hardy doubt your sexual problem is due […]
It is very difficult to answer your question. There have been reports of finasteride causing mood changes. You need to see your doctor for help. Were you also taking other medications that you abruptly stopped? Are there other stressors in your life (independent of stopping Propecia)? Could this be coincidental? There are many unknowns here […]
Medicine is a descriptive science, and the observations that stress contributes to hair loss is something we have observed. I do not believe everyday anxiety (being late for work, for example) is stressful enough to cause hair loss, but I also do not know how to calculate the degree of stress a person has in […]
It seems like you have done your share of research. The hair loss could be coincidence after starting either medication, or it could be telogen effluvium, MPB, etc. Your guess is as good as mine. I don’t see anything in the literature about agomelatine (also known as Valdoxan) and hair loss, but many antidepressants are […]
Both Elavil and the SSRIs can cause hair loss as a side effect, although it is not common. There is almost always a concern for side effects from any medication, but the most common cause of hair loss in men is genetic balding. Therefore, we can not predict if these drugs are causing hair loss […]
Stress can cause hair loss in some people who have genetically sensitive hair that goes into telogen in response to stress or anxiety. I find this more common in women, who usually regrow the hair that they lost from stress. Stress management will likely help. Running your fingers through your hair, provided that you are […]
The key is establishing a measurement (metric) on the degree of miniaturization you have. No miniaturization present would mean that you are not balding from genetic male hair loss; progressive miniaturization extending from just the corners of your hairline to the top and back would indicate progression of the balding process. Men who take Propecia […]
The issue is cause and effect and clearly he is complicated with many things that can accelerate hair loss (stress, medications, genetic balding). Assuming that he has genetic balding, the use of Propecia (finasteride 1mg) should be central to his hair loss management. That has a good chance of reducing or reversing the hair loss. […]
Adding Avodart to the Propecia dose may not benefit you, based on what we current know about Avodart. It is highly possible that you have reached the maximal benefit of the drugs. You must remember that hair loss does go in cycles, so playing with drugs and doses may not cause the changes you are […]
