Is Excess Sebum from MPB or from the Propecia?
I’ve been noticing hair loss across the crown of my head for about 18 months now. I have been taking Propecia for close to 8 months with continual shedding and thinning of my hair. More recently in the last month I have started taking Regaine as part of my fight against hair loss and though I have noticed less of the burning feeling on my scalp my hair continues to shed – though im pretty certain its not at the rate it did a year ago.

Hey Doc, In the thirteen months I’ve been taking propecia I’ve noticed that the hair on the rest of by body has been growing at a much faster rate.

I have used minoxidil7% (2mL/day)and finasteride for 13 months with good results, including a period of shedding 10 months in. Then, suddenly, I felt burning on my scalp so discontinued minoxidil. I returned to the minoxidil after 2 months but can tolerate only 0.5mL/day). I have been back on for 3 weeks. In that time I have noticed a loss of density....
H I’ve been using rogaine for 6 months now, at first it worked very very well. A little time to get use to a routine but I stuck to it. I did shed at first in the first month but it grew back and it was great however in the last month I’ve started to shed again quite rapidly badly and I don’t understand why. I apply it exactly the...
Burning my scalp By Andy from Illinois, age 29, who has been using ScalpMed for four months: After four months of using this product, I can say it was designed to earn money for its originator not to grow hair. I know I should give it at least six months to see results but I am reluctant to continue. I am going back to minoxidil and biotin, as these...
I am a 30 year old female and I had an incident over a month ago when all my hair was violently yanked by my boyfriends 3 year old. I woke up the next morning and started losing hair. Since then my scalp has been burning so bad that I have thought about suicide. The hair fall out is very noticable and is all over the head. It hurts to go outside...
Hi, I have been taking Propecia 1mg for a little over 4 months now. About 3 months in, I thought I noticed some slight discomfort in my chest (although it may have just been in my head). Now, a month later, it seems much more evident that I am experiencing breast discomfort/tenderness. It is not constant, although I do feel it many different times...
Dear Dr Rassman, I have heard that DHT in the scalp is linked with overproduction of sebum, which is the main cause of seborrheic dermatitis. Does this make any sense to you? I have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis, and I also have hair loss. The two dermatologists I have seen have tried various topical medicines, betamethasone, clobetasol...
Dr. Rassman, Thank you for taking the time with this blog and the questions you have answered for me over the past year. I’m 30, I take Propecia and have been on it a year for crown thinning.

Hello Doctor, I am a 30 year old male who has been taking propecia and/proscar (2 months propecia and 10 months 1/4 proscar) for a year. My partner who is a physician first noticed my hairloss when I was sitting down about a year ago. It is only in the Crown, so I was a bit shocked because I could never see it
