From my conversations with women, obesity is far worse than hair loss. They would much rather have an in-shape bald/balding guy, than an overweight guy with a full head of hair. No comparision. I'm sure a small percent of women would lean the other way, but overall, bodyfat is far greater...

I am guessing there is already a topic on this, but I didn't find it. I recently started minoxidil again. I use 2ml (covering front and crown) twice per day. I am getting some acne right below the hairline. I had this same situation before on minoxidil and I don't recall it going away. Anyone have...

I seem to have excellent regrowth right along the hairline. It's fairly thick in density and hair diameter. This density runs along the hairline and is about 1/2 cm wide. Behind this, my hair does not seem to be coming in nearly as quickly, so it looks a bit odd right now. Does growth...

Wow. Thank you for the information and the offer. I may take you up on that.

I have a couple spots on my recipient area that I think may be damaged follicles. I had surgery Nov 1, so I am about 2 months post op. Occasionally, when I get out of the shower there may be a point of blood on my scalp and eventually a small scab. Right now I have a couple small scabs on the...

thanks

I am 8 days post-op with Dr Armani for 3300 grafts from strip technique. I have been back to work since 6 days from surgery. I've been wearing a knit hat over my head because that is the only thing that I can wear that covers both donor and recipient areas and works for the job I have. I am...

I am getting 3300 grafts with Dr Armani on Nov 1 using the strip technique. How long after my surgery do I have to wait to wear a baseball hat?

I have sucess with it topically with great results, but I use it orally as well as using other some other things, so I cannot single that out. Check out my post in the success stories forum for pics. What may be more cost effective is using 4 caps in minoxidil, but getting a generic finasteride to...

Most likely, you eventually will lose all hair due to dutasteride, like you were never on it. You will be worse off than when you started. dutasteride stays in the system for a fairly long time, so it will take some time to see the cosmetic change. Instead of going off of it, I would try switching to...

...it may be an optical illusion. dutasteride has worked great for me except in the hairline, which has improved just not as much as elsewhere. Looking at a mirror, my hairline looks like it may be worse than before, but I think it may be because the back part of my head is so much thicker, so the...

Thanks guys. I wouldn't discount the use of dutasteride topically. I buy Dutagen from unitedphamacies.com for about $1/pill. I put four pills in a 60ml of minoxidil and use 2ml 2x per day. So the bottle lasts 15 days. So, the cost of dutasteride topically for me is only ~25 cents/day. I don't recall the...

I've used Dutagen with great results. You can get it for $.90-$1.30 per pill at unitedpharmacies.com
