Went to talk to a new dermatologist today Dr. Robert Albergo:
I was in full composure.. i bought a list of questions to ask him about.
hair loss...
he said there is only 2 proven things that can be done.. yup you've guessed them... propecia and rogaine
I told him that I was on propecia and said that it seemed like I was losing more hair.. he said i've probabaly been losing hair for a while, i just took a interest in it when i actaully started noticing, and this is when most people start counting their hair.
I asked him about T.E.. since i had pnemonia 4 months ago..
he said, not likely. but if it is Telogen Effluvium then it wouldnt hurt if you took propecia. and things would eventually get better.
I told him that i was using nizoral/t-gel.. multivit...flaxseed.. saw palmetto..
he said none of those are proven to help hair loss and that i'm probabaly just wasting my money.. but if it makes me happier knowing that i'm using every product that someone claims helps then keep doing it.
I asked him if it would be beneficial to test for hormones.. dht levels, thyroid levels..
he said no.. ( i was a little suprised about this)
I asked him about dutasteride.. he was probabaly just protecting his own *** when he told me that he's never heard of it. I gave him a description.. then he said he woudlnt ever advise someone to take anything that's not approved by the FDA.. (which i understand)
I asked him about gyno..
he looked me over and said tests could be ran.. he couldnt do it.. I'd have to go to my primary.. he says it highly unlikely though..
he says if would give me peace of mind to have the tests done.. but didnt reccomend another Doctor to do it.
I asked about shedding... ! he says that most people do not shed. I told him that i visit a forum where they say shedding is the norm..
he says, shedding is not the norm, and usually hair lost is hair gone. very few people are actually able to regrow hair regardless of what theyre' using..
last thing suprised me..
he told me to use rogaine.. I have a thinning top, not a bald spot.. more of just a nasty receeding hair line and thin frontal.
i said.. i thought that was only for the vertex ... he says.. no, it's beneficial all over.
so i guess i'll be on rogaine now!?!
says since you cant pick your parents, you just have to live with what you got.. he kinda hunched i was unhappy with my current state..
