    why don't doctors address the issue of scalp inflammation?

    I would second that. My temples started itching uncontrollably during the start of male pattern baldness. But during that time, my hair was still pretty thick. After i got on propecia, all the itch was gone. Btw, 2 yr time gap from when my itching started. I do notice my friend, who's starting to recede in his...

    Hair Transplant in thailand

    well... dr path has several patient pics up at the hair resto forum.. and he is one of the recommended docs on the hair transplant network. I've seen some before and after pics and dr path does good work. I'm kinda planning for a hair transplant at thailand.. and dr pong's pricing is rock bottom, and while...

    6 year proscar update (good news and bad), need some advice

    ok dude, here's the deal. dutasteride stays in your system for a LOOOONG time before it finally gets out of the body. I am pretty sure that it is the residual dutasteride that's causing the mental issues you have and not the finasteride. As to why you getting off the finasteride would stop the mental sides.. i would say it's...

    yes.. you're not alone. and i'm sure that's a gooood thing! i noticed fast hair growth when i was 1 month into generic finasteride.. and now i'm 1yr 3 months in, using 1/5 proscar. Somehow my hair is growing faster.. and thicker of course :punk:

    Hair Thickening Shampoo Recomendation

    Hey sorry for the late reply. I got mine from ebay, but you should be able to get them at some good salons. Amazon stocks them as well. Unfortunately, I'm not based in the US so i don't know brick and mortar stores that carry them. I've tried quite alot of thickening shampoos, including the...

    who am i kidding?

    Well you're not even halfway through 2 years, so just sit through the shed. For what it's worth, i had a SECOND shed on my crown roughly about 5-6 months after i started, which is kinda like what you're going through now, but it all grew back thicker. So don't worry

    Hair Thickening Shampoo Recomendation

    I use Aveda Thickening shampoo, which is highly raved in this board. It works pretty well, not by actually giving your hair shaft more thickness (There's NO shampoo that does this), but sort of giving the hair more 'air' between the strands. It's quite hard to put in words but it does work well...

    Is Race and male pattern baldness linked?

    I definitely believe so. But i suspect it might be due to dietary habits than race per se. I'm an asian in an asian country and i totally agree with you that there's much lesser balding in young asian guys compared to the west. But towards the 40 yr old mark, the gap is quite close. Asians...

    Tolgahan's Story - (24 - Needing opinions)

    It does look like a TINY bit of miniaturisation at the temples, but the angle of the photos taken don't really show it that well. Try a top down shot? But your hair is in fantastic shape so just keep an eye on it, no worries.

    1-10 How effective has finasteride been for you? Survey

    HT55: You have got to be kidding, with results like that! finasteride's about an 8 for me. I've been on it for 13 months, overall hair density is much better. Hairline doesn't seem to be filling in but it isn't too bad. I honestly don't know what i would do without finasteride.
