Personal experince is what makes me think that retin a does irritate the skin. You will get an inital breakout from it, and then intermitant patchs of dry flakey skin. The beneficial effects of the topical come from it speeding up the exfoliation of the skins upper layers. Some people have good...

Green Tea can taste gross, however thats normally when its been prepared wrong. If it is brewed to long, or the water is to hot it can go bitter. I would also recommend not using tea bags. Get some loose tea and an infuser. It just tastes better. Put on a kettle with fresh water, and...

Melatonin works amaaazingly well for me. Can get it on the net. I would avoid Nytol, I used to use it and got an ache in my chest that was identified as mild heart strain. Valerian is good to. Lavender is also very effective. Meditation and anything to lower anxiety is also...

I had bad acne in my teens and eventually ended up taking (ro)accutane. It worked. However it takes an immense toll on the body. I still felt the effects a year after. Its not something to take lightly, you need constant blood tests on the course. I have read with interest the low dosage...

I got my Emu Oil off of Ebay, from a company in the UK. It comes in a roller application device similar to those used by some under arm deoderents. It also contains lavender, so it smells purty to. No idea ifs its done anything for my hair, to early to tell. If isnt that messy...

Well I am definitely going to stick with treatment plan this time around. I had to quit last time just because my liver test results showed it was struggling to cope, was on about 5 different things. I was asking about dutasteride just because I have read if you are past a N2 you should consider it...

Thankyou for the replies. Sean, are you taking finasteride on the days you are not taking dutasteride?

I am a 22-year-old Brit male, and have been losing my hair for probably about 3years now. Maybe more, but I think I have just been in denial. However looking at old photos Ive certainly had a receding hairline for that amount of time. However over the past year or so I have also developed a very...

Was wondering whether people could post images, or supply a link, of what they think a good system looks like. I havnt got a whole lot of context.

Ill post some picks shortly, however am slightly confused as to what vellus hairs means. I am thinning on the crown, so I assume that means at least so of the hairs have fully gone. I will give minoxidil and nizoral a go to. But what else would be a good idea? spironolactone? On a tangent, what are your views on...

I recently read an article about bruxism that made a passing reference to suffers often also having hairloss. No substanciation for it, and I can't find anything concerning any link. Just lazy journalism linking both to stress perhaps? Also has anyone had bruxism and treated it successfully?

Hi. I am considering dutasteride, am a vertex3(ish). Does anyone have images of a successfull response to it?

Hello. Am considering beginning my treatment(battle?) against progressive thinning/male pattern baldness in earnest, finally. nizoral is a no-brainer. However with the intro of finasteride and minoxidil, how would this be best done? From what I know I am thinking about starting finasteride to get the initial shed over with, for...

Forgive the obvious newbie question but am unsure.

So Jude Laws hairline looks pretty good considering the extent of the receeding. This is obviously made a whole lot better by virture of him being a very pretty guy. Ive been losing my hair for years now(and am only 22, woe is me), and have copied his flicky dandyish hair cuts. However I dont...
