Hi all, I'm starting to thing about a hair transplant and I would like to start researching some surgeons, but it's very difficult to find impartial advice or good recommendations for surgeons in London. Can someone point me in the right direction with recommending me some names of people who would be worth...

Hi all, I've been on a finasteride about a year, I don't think I've had any regrowth since then but I've at least held on to most of what is left and with some Nangogen on my hairline and crown it looks like I have an ok head of hair. But without the concealer I can see the crown is not in good shape...

Noticed my hair thinning (temples+crown, but less density on top, i'm 24) about 18 months ago, went on finasteride + nizoral about a year ago, but came off finasteride after 6 months after noticing sexual sides and a small case of gyno. finasteride was probably doing the job as I noticed the male pattern baldness itch went away after a...

how much extra zinc?

I started propecia 7 months ago, and it seems to have kept my hair in place, and possibly thincked it out in places as well, but unfortunately a case of gyno and reduced libido mean I am going to quit it. I still have a very good head of hair, mainly just thin at the temples and crown, but I am...

a quick question, for those that suffer from ED due to taking propecia, does taking a dose of v**** prior to sex temporarily cure them, or are there deeper issues going on which the v**** cannot tackle?

Hi - I'm 23 and you can get an idea of my hair loss here - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=59756 I've been on propecia for just over 4 weeks, 1mg day, and I've been using nizoral on the top of my head + my temples 2/3 times a week. However I'm still get an itch every so often on the thinning areas at the...

I'm not bothered enough by my hair loss at the moment that I'd want to risk it.

The same reasons as everyone else who is reluctant to take them, but I don't wish to turn it into a discussion over that. My hairloss isn't that noticeable yet so I have a bit of time on my hands to try something safer. If it doesn't work out the finasteride is always there.

Even if you were very rich, what can you do about hair loss? All I see are hair transplants which apparently aren't necessarily that successful.

I've attached some recent pics. My goal is mainly to maintain what I have got, and I'm going to avoid finasteride/minoxdil. If in 12 months things are looking bad, then I'll reconsider them. For the time being though I'm looking to apply something that I can apply and will hopefully stop or massively...

Thanks, will try later this week. A picture I took earlier today One thing I'm bothered about is the amount of visible scalp at the back. My hair has grown fairly long since then and I'm thinking of getting it cut short (grade 4/5). Is this just a parting and so will dissapear with a short...

ALso, one more thing I've started to notice is that I'm itching my scalp a fair bit, and I feel little bits coming off of it? Is this related to it all? I am tempted to just go to another doctor and just get onto finasteride + min rather than wait another 2 months where things will just get worse.

So I went to the doctors who did a blood test, and they showed I was low on folic acid, so I'm now taking a daily supplement of that, and we'll review the situation after 3 months. Any thoughts on whether the folic acid will have a major effect? The Doctor said that if no improvements after 3...

should I start on just rogaine for the time being or try any other treatments at the same time?
