Yikes truking10. You no doubt have shaved your head by the time you read this. But, seriously, I don't think that it will matter that much as a specialist will look at the root cause. I dunno, maybe shaving it will help him to see more of the "root" cause in this? Keep us in the loop about what your second Doctor says.
