propecia

1654177 tn?1319838494 edu/infocenter/vitamins/biotin/ Saw Palmetto is supposed to mimic the effect of Propecia (finasteride) without the side effects. Propecia was designed for prostate health and was then found, by accident, to also bring back hair growth lost within 2 years. My derm told me that Propecia will soon be available to women however it does have more than its share of contraindications so I would not count on that one anytime soon.

Avatar m tn I went to a dermatologist and she put me on propecia for the hair loss. I also took a blood test and said my iron was low. But other then that I my blood was normal. Is it possible they ran certain tests on my blood and not others which maybe why I am misdiagnosed. I have a follow up in late july. I didnt have this burning sensation before i went to see my doc. And my burning scalp is not a symptom of propecia. Any ideas to what this could be? A disease?
Avatar n tn Male pattern baldness usually starts over the crown and is associated with a receding hairline. This they would term as the vertex and bitemporal regions of hair loss. In women, the loss is usually limited over the crown. Pattern loss may be seen as early as in the 30's in men and later in women. Hair loss may be due to an underlying scalp problem also. Seborrheic dermatitis and fungal infections may present with a well demarcated or diffuse loss of hair.
Avatar m tn Parietal foramen through the parietal bone serves as passage for vessels and nerves. These anatomical landmarks become prominent with a receding hairline and ridges and irregularities show up based on how these bones bonded during early skull development. You need to rule out any head trauma or fracture if you have sustained. If this doesnot allay your anxiety and there are other issues, you could meet a physician and discuss with him. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn Have noticed huge amount of hair loss. Used to have think hair, now, can see my scalp and have receding hairline. Every day, look gobs of hair. Is this normal? when will this stop? Will it ever reverse and grow back.

3170462 tn?1344717552 Hair loss from Lipitor happens in patients in .1% to 1% of users. You should mention it to his doctor as there are other statins that are not as likely to have this side effect.
Avatar m tn ve had to wear pulled back in a tight bun for work purposes for the past several years. It never seemed to be a problem before. However, in March 2009, I noticed a small spot at my temples where the hair was sparse. And in the last 3 months, my hairline over my forehead has receded, and the hair on the left side of the top of my head is very thin. I've stopped wearing my hair up in a bun, but everything I've read says that traction alopecia may be irreversible after a certain point.
Avatar n tn 0, T4F - at 14.0-17.0. I have no other hypothyroid symptoms but constantly receding frontal hairline and thinning eyebrows worry me a lot. I know about the importance of the diet, am taking various supplements for the hair, there is no hereditary problem and I have no menopause symptoms as yet (I'm 50). As far as I understand, my thyroid tests results are low, so perhaps this can be the cause of the hair loss?
Avatar n tn This now bothers me a lot despite the fact no one ever notices it. For whatever reason it has led to me having little confidence and depression. The onset of receding hair is making me worse, i want to know what you think of the idea of having it repaired now? At the time the option was to cut me from ear to ear and fix it this way. Is this still the only way? i understand the bones will now have fused and repair will be more difficult/riskier. All opinions welcome.
Avatar f tn m shedding and its very noticable. My hairloss started at the crown and has worked its way up to my hairline. My hairline is receding a little bit but its been like that since i was 15. As far as I know MPB takes time and goes through miniturization. I'm not ruling it out, I'm just very confused and would really appreciate some help.
Avatar m tn I had very thick hair pre-accutane and i noticed hair-thnning lately and my hairline as also been receding. This is driving me crazy. Will this be a permanent side-effect or temporary and will my hair come back to its original hair-line. My father has very thick hair and my mother has good hair as well. Someone please help!!!
Avatar m tn When i was young I used to have really thick hair. At the age of 14 I started to masturbate once a week, and when I was 15/16 I would masturbate at least 2-3 times per week. Over the years i've noticed my hairline receding, and now I have a couple of bald spots in the back of my head, and my hair is thinning. (Im 17.5 now). After doing a lot of research, I found that testosterone is converted into DHT which kills hair follicles.
Avatar n tn Ive read several articles online about recent studies showing that lifting weights, even just 3 days a week for 45 minutes, can speed the balding process. I'm a 22 yr old male, I have a receding hairline that I'm geneticly predisposed for. It's been depressing me a lot over the past couple years which is one of the main reasons I lift weights. I feel healthier and more confident, but if it's making me lose more hair I wonder if it's even worth it. Please help.
Avatar m tn My hair and beard have been thinning for a while , and it seems to be getting worse by the week. I have had all the relative blood tests to rule out anemia and thyroid problems and they are negative.
Avatar n tn t too sure where to post this, I have been taking a daily dose of tinzaparin for the last 4 months to treat my bilateral pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, and i have noticed my hairline receding and my overall head of hair thinning.
Avatar f tn so what is happening is that I am noticing a lot of hair strands falling off my hair mostly at night or when I’m showering(not really in the morning) I am not really receding from my hairline but I can see a small line of my scalp above it( I don’t know, I think it might be because I have really thin hair) And most importantly, I have talked to my dad about this and he said that a lot of his family is bald (even him).
Avatar n tn Now, I did my own research after a year later and it seems that ISONIAZID is an alopecia inducing medication and now my hair is not growing back as prior to the treatment. I have a receding hairline, my hair keeps falling more than it used to and it’s weak. Any remedies to grow my hair back like it used to? What can I do? Can I take legal action? Can a dermatologist help me? I’m a Hispanic 24 yrs old male in New Mexico, USA. Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Avatar n tn ve been off propecia now for about 6 months and everything is back to normal... I think if I would have taken propecia any longer it might have done some real damage..
Avatar m tn it is as if it was a wet flaky paste that settled there and then dried up. i have to scratch it away really hard to get it off the scalp. also, the hairline is receding and the redness is evident in all the scalp wherever i scratch it. i've got my head shaved many times and tried treatments but they didnt work. the doctors asked to see my genitals when i'd tell them this problem and just said its "some fungus" but they were unable to cure me.
Avatar n tn Help. My wife accidentally took propecia (3 mgs over 2 days) thinking it was something else. We are planning on having kids soon. Can there be consequences to a future pregnancy from this mistake? How long will the propecia stay in her body?
