OK, I have been on Propecia for a little over 2 months now, and I think I am in the middle of the shedding period, but it's not too drastic and I'm taking it as a good sign. I am relatively new to the whole idea of losing my hair, and honestly I'm a little unclear on how hair loss treatments...

I have begun using 1% Nizoral and prescription Loprox shampoo on an alternating basis to reduce scalp inflammation and seborrheic dermatitis. For example, I use loprox one day, then normal shampoo the next, Nizoral the next, normal shampoo, etc, so it comes out that I use each about 2x a week...

Thanks for the advice. I've heard good things about Grape Seed Extract, I'll look into that. Also, I do a lot of cardio because I go to school in the mountains (hiking, climbing), so I don't have much body fat, which I guess is a good thing.

I have been taking Propecia for about a month now, and so far no sides, and the only side that really scares me is the possibility of getting gyno (which I understand is pretty rare with 1mg finasteride). Is there anything like supplements that I should use or avoid to reduce the chance of...

I'm 20 and my hair has started to thin slowly over the past few years. Recently I decided to get on Propecia to do something about it before it becomes too noticable. I am going to the doctor for a physical soon, and I just wanted to rule out any other causes of hair loss, so what should I ask...

Ok, I have been thinning diffusely for several years and just recently started Propecia. I also use Loprox and T/Gel shampoos several times a week for seb. dermatitis, because the coal tar shampoos have always been the best for treating my symptoms. In fact I have used T/Gel off and on...

thanks for the good advice. you say not to take too many fat soluble vitamins, do these include B vitamins and biotin? can I harm myself by taking too much of these. I tried to look around for a b-complex vitamin that just contained around 100% of the DV for most of them, but most of the...

The hair on my head has been thinning for several years, and just recently I started taking Propecia, B-Complex vitamins, biotin, and MSM to hopefully turn it around. I don't really know how to say this, but just before starting propecia I noticed that my pubic hair was also thinner than it was...

I started taking Propecia about a week and a half ago, and the only supplement I take anymore is fish oil to help with my seb derm. Frankly, I don't think it's worth spending a whole lot of money on unproven supplements if they won't do anything for hair. However, recently I have also started...

Since starting Propecia this week, I have noticed the itch and inflammation associated with the seborrheic dermatitis of my scalp has gone down. If anything, I was thinking that Propecia might exacerbate the symptoms. This is a welcome surprise, but I was wondering if anyone here had...

Over the past year I have noticed my hair getting generally thinner, tiny bit of a bald spot, etc. I just went to the derm yesterday and he put me on Propecia, just took my first pill a couple minutes ago. I am also already using Nizoral 1% and P. Olamine shampoos for seborrheic dermatitis...

I have decided to take the following supplements to help me out, but I am new to this and I would like to know how you experts would space them out throughout the day. -Trimedica PureMSM, 1,000 mg 2x/day -Fish oil supplement 2x/day -Nature Made Stress B-complex w/ Vit. C, E, and Zinc 1x/day...

I have had seborrheic dermatitis since I was 16 (20 now) and I used to use Neutrogena T/Gel everyday. Last year when I was a freshman in college I noticed that I began to lose some hairs in the shower (not an incredible amount, but I had never noticed this before), so I cut down, and the...

Umdace - Nizoral makes my scalp itch even worse and break out with pimples. Nothing else I have ever used has caused such a bad reaction. To everyone else, I have been to a derm about this and they did a pull test and everything and told me that I am not suffering from abnormal hair loss and...

I use piroctone olamine shampoo for my hair loss and seb derm and am constantly searching for other shampoos to rotate with it that may potentially help with either problem. Tea tree oil sounds like a good bet, so I bought some of the pure oil at the store to add to a standard non-irritating...
