I was just wondering if anyone knows of any studies indicating that superficial ketoconazole prevents hair loss? Because why doesnt Nizoral ever advertise as "may decrease hair loss as well", and why is "possible hair loss" a side effect? I've read that 5-alpha reductase is at the base of hair...

I knew it!!! Hope the nurses are hot

I've got around 2-3 inch long hair, so using the .5 capful doesnt get half of my scalp (I'm a diffuse thinner, but havent thinned terribly much yet, so the foam gets stuck on my hair). My hair becomes all crinkly and malleable but it takes a full cap or sometimes a cap and a half to cover my...

Go to your general physician, let him know your situation, and get a blood test. While I'm sure you did prior to seeing your derm, make sure its nothing hormonal as massive hair loss at 15 isnt very normal. Other than that you can get 1 percent nizoral at CVS, same w/Rogaine. finasteride, just go to...

That entire site is alllll messed up. A lot of their articles end with "you're f'd up, but this herbal remedy". Personally, I wouldnt be caught dead being treated in a hospital - especially a teaching one. Scary, scary, scary places. There are TONS of horrible horrible, dumb, dumb...

Hey guys, well I've been on finasteride/minoxidil for almost a month and a half now, and it seems like i've been shedding the entire time. It's really annoying because I cant tell if it's working at all, and honestly, it feels substancially thinner than it did before - it really leads me to think that if...

Just please please see a therapist first. It doesnt hurt, most insurance covers it, they may even prescribe you medication to chemically take care of yourself (although that's highly highly highly unlikely).

HLTguest, in response you original question, I spoke w/two professors regarding your post and questions (I actually showed one the post). I'll just write what both said from a completely third party prospective. Please take into consideration that I'm in a relatively well known, medical...

So aggresive, geez, That make sense, so guess I'll stick w/the minoxidil, finasteride, and nizoral. Thanks. But, if anyone else has any info, I'm def open to hearing it.

Okay, now I dont know if this is true, but a professor had mentioned it in passin in that finasteride works initially but after the span of 10 years it's effectiveness drops. Now I'm just wondering if anyone has any evidence of this, and if this also occurs with minoxidil. If so, damn, I'm using one...

Well I allready bought the rogaine foam - so far it's great- but I'm really struggling geting it on my entire scalp. So I'm currently using both - I've been reading articles about the effects of propecia no longer working after 12-13 years is rogain the same way? Thanks again.

I guess last question is that does anyone know if there are statistics regarding the allergic reaction to minoxidil? Actually - do people know if it's an allergic reaction to the compound itself or the alcohol that it's in? If it's an allergic reaction, anyone knows if it just goes away? I...

Actually my hair was like that for as long as I can remember - I'm only letting it grow now until june (it's a bet/resolve) at which point I'm cutting it back down and doing something just like that (I cant stand having long hair). I got minoxidil foam and the label says "for people balding...

What're some details of a ludwig? Anything in particular about it's response to therapy or treatmet? Thanks again.

I dunno how it ended up happening some idiots just pushed me up a grade when I was in high school, then I finished college early and started med school at 19 (birthday in september). If you dont believe me I'll pust out some handy second year med student facts only info that I've been...
