I am confused here -- so male pattern baldness can cause hair loss on other parts of the body, not just the head?

Okay -- this is going to sound like a really odd, embarassing question, but I have noticed that there is a small area on the lower part of my right ankle that does not have hair on it. I am not sure if this just happened recently, or this was something that has been missing for a while, but I...

I don't understand why people feel they need to remind you that you are losing your hair. You would never say to somebody, "Geez, your teeth need to be straightened." Or, "Wow, you have a lot of wrinkles under your eyes!" But somehow, for some odd reason, people feel they need to tell you...

I have a little thinning in my crown area and I am thinking about shaving my head with a Number 1. This may sound like a stupid question, but what will the crown area looked like with a shaved head? Is the thinning I have going to appear more noticeable with a shaved head, or will it just...

I am almost 25 and my hair loss is almost identical to yours - same location, similar amount of hair lost. It's not nearly as bad as you described. When you were talking about "part the point of no return" I was almost expecting you to have three hairs on your head.

Just to make a few things clear... I do think about my hair loss, and at times, I do worry about it. I do sometimes feel a bit self conscious about it. But it doesn't make me suicidal or anything. I obviously would like more hair, but at what cost? Maybe I am getting scared away by some of...

I am not asking this to be a smartass, nor do I mean this to sound like I am talking down to people who are using a ton of products to treat their hair loss. Hell, if I didn't care at all about my own situation I wouldn't be on this site. But do you honestly find all the work you put into...

I know there is some debate on whether or not the LaserComb has actually regrown hair or whether it just makes hair appear to be thicker, but from your own experiences with this product, what would you say?

Look, I know it sucks, believe me, we're all in the same boat as you. But you have two choices: You can sit around, sulk, and feel sorry for yourself, or you can cope with hair loss as best as you can get on with life. Even though the latter is easier sad than done, it's the better option.

I hear you on this one. I sometimes find myself a bit self conscious to turn my back toward people because my hair is thinning a bit in the back.

It's weird -- for me it varies every day. Some days it rarely crosses my mind, and if it does, I can almost laugh it off and say, "Eh, no big deal." Other days I find it consumes me a hell of a lot more. I find I can sometimes be very self conscious about it, especially when I am around...

Thanks, Viper. Hmmm, maybe the product isn't all that expensive then if it lasts that long. Anyway, for those who have used LaserComb, in your own experiences, do you feel like it has given the appearance of thicker, fuller hair, or do you think it actually regrows hair? Or both? I know there...

I know, for instance, with products like electric razors you should buy replacement razor heads once a year for optimal usage of the product. With the LaserComb, do you need to replace any parts after a certain amount of time? I noticed that it's pretty expensive at about $650, but I guess...

hairschmair, I finally bought some nizoral today. This may sound like a stupid question, but when you say "3 minutes" do you mean that you leave the product in for that long before rinsing, or do you rinse for three minutes?

When people say things like "It's only hair loss," part of me agrees with them. We are very fortunate if the worst thing in our life is that we have a missing hair, or two, or 20. I sometimes find it humorous that we even care at all about our hair thinning. I mean, hell, we probably didn't even...
