A couple of years ago, I had sudden hair loss which triggered bad anxiety and depression. So much so that I couldn’t function.

Shock loss is an acceleration of hair loss after the stress of a hair transplant. It is more common in younger men in their 20 and less common in men as they get older, like their 40s and 50s. The best prevention of it is the drug finasteride which seems to protect the patient against […]
Okay, so I am sure all of us have heard this theory before: “Masturbation contributes to hair loss”. I have done a significant amount of reading on this and to be honest, it is hard to know for sure. Different sources are saying different things. Some say that masturbation/sex accelerates male pattern baldness and others say it does […]

I went to the dermatologist the other day and she diagnosed me with TE. I am 21 years old and male. She blamed it on stress, when in reality I’m not stressed. What I believe it’s from is the 5 month accutane course I finished up in October of 2016. I honestly didn’t notice much […]

We are clearly more informed today that previous generations have been so today’s young people think that balding should not happen today when in our father’s time, it was just an accepted fact.

Despite what you may read on the Internet, shedding is not very common after starting Propecia. You must also understand Propecia does not stop or cure male pattern balding.
