As I sort of mentioned above, people were not involved in this study. There were 18 "reconstructed human epidermis" specimens on which the study was conducted. It looks like only 15 were used for analysis - table 3 shows N's and it looks like sphlanx2006 is correct in saying that each...

This seems interesting, although I'm not sure why this is deserving of such a prominent posting. 1) This study has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal. 2) This is not a study done on human subjects 3) The study is not testing the all-important outcomes result of whether or not it...

Just a small update. The first picture is from today (1-12-08) and the second is from about 3 months ago (10-16-07). Been on propecia/rogaine foam since the beginning of September and added Nizoral 1% in November. So far, it looks like the vertex is a little better, but the mid-scalp is...

I started using Toppik for my thinning hair and it has worked wonders. I do not have any bald spots but it is noticibly thinner. Toppik makes it look like I have no thinning at all. However, I do think you need to have a decent amount of hair to begin with. It won't work for people who are...

Re: Hair Pulled Out ! there is such a thing as traction alopecia that can be caused by things like extremely tight ponytails or braids. this is seen in a lot of african american women that have these types of hairstyles. in these cases, the hair generally does not grow back. of course, this...

it's not the balding guy that girls don't want to be around. it's the insecure guy that gets suicidal from something superficial like thinning hair. in about 5 years, a large percentage of guys are going to look just like you. for now, just stand up for yourself instead of just taking...

thanks for the input - it's nice to have objective opinions. it's only been 3 months, so i know i can't expect results at this point. however, i've taken dozens of pictures and the last few seem to show some subtle improvement. hopefully things will get better in the next few months. i'm...

I used to have very thick hair as a teenager/young adult. No one has noticed any hairloss even today, but parting my hair makes it obvious that there is an issue (I usually comb it straight back). There is some temple recession, but it doesn't concern me much - the vertex and mid-scalp is what...

propecia does something if you are experiencing male pattern baldness. although your hairline has receded a little, you do not seem to have male pattern baldness. tough to tell since your hair is so short, though. however, if i had your hair at 31, i wouldn't bother. the bump on your head is...

There shouldn't be any reason the doctor would say no, unless you are like many people who are paranoid about hair loss despite a healthy head of hair, have a different type of alopecia other than mail pattern baldness, or if something in your medical background that contraindicates use of...
