I hate to keep bothering you, but I’m full of questions! With fine hair, how much hair can be lost before it is considered noticeable? 25%? 50%? I am 4 months into using Propecia, and have new hair sprouting all over. I am surprised, as I have been losing hair for 20+ years. I am going to see where Propecia takes me, then finish it off with transplants. In general, you need to lose about half (50%) of your original hair density (in even distribution)... 

i wanna know that can armpit hairs be the donor for scalp hair transplantation???? plz reply me soon I suppose anything is possible, but I doubt you’d really want to do this if you knew what the end result would look like. I have seen everything from transplanting armpit hair, pubic hair, and even beard hair to the scalp (I’ve not done these procedures, but have seen patients with them … [ visit site to read more ]  Read More →

Once and for all, in regards to thousands of emails i imagine you get, i have a question for you. I can see there is a miscommunication with the emails you receive regarding matsurbation and hairloss. The way people are wording the emails they send you such as ‘does masturbation cause hairloss’ isn’t what i think their trying to convey. My question is as follows: I UNDERSTAND that masturbation doesn’t CAUSE MPB/hairloss/genetic... 

I inherited a strange hairline characteristic from my Maternal father, one side is and always has been far higher than the other, however it skipped his son. Does this mean I will have the same pattern of hair loss as my grandfather? I ask because everyone in the family except for his son (my uncle) has a pretty good head of hair. Should one even consider uncles and great uncles when looking at their family tree in terms of hair loss or is that... 

Hey Doc, I have been on propecia for almost 2 years now, last summer marked my 1st full year on the drug. Last summer (late August) I missed 2 weeks of the pill and soon after realized that my crown got a bit balder. Now the crown has gotten a bit more balder – my question is, is there any way to tell whether the 2 weeks of missed dosage caused this or whether its just MPB taking its course? Thanks Doc There is no way to truly tell other... 

Snippet from the article: Prince William has found himself in a hairy situation. The British royal, 27, appears on the new cover of Hello! Magazine with a suspicious head of full, dark hair, a far cry from his usual thinning mane. While it looks as though the prince dyed his hair, inside images prove the cover photo may have been the result of some clever lighting or avid Photoshopping. William sports his traditional dark blond locks in additional... 

I’m a healthy 62 yr old caucasion male. Throughout my life time I have enjoyed a full head of hair. Over the past month to two months, I have noticed significant hair loss in the front of my leading to baldness. I am concern for the abruptness that I started losing my hair. Is this unusal to happen at my age? I’ve been taking blood pressure medicine for the past several years as well as tamulosin and cholesterol medicine. I do not abuse... 

My girlfriend has been going through laser treatments for removing pubic hair before she met me. she has gone through four treatments (she was supposed to do 12)and I convinced her to stop because to me lack of pubic hair seems completely unnatural. since she has stopped I noticed some slight regrowth but it is in strange patches and not even. Has the laser completely destroyed these areas? will minoxidil help regrow the hair? is there any way... 

Dear Dr. Rassman, I am a 32 year old male with Norwood class 3.In December beginning I had started Propecia and continued with it for 7 weeks. I experienced no apparent side effects and in fact felt more energetic. There was no initial hair loss and at end of 3 weeks my hair felt fuller and it seemed that there was a decrease in hair loss ( lose fewer while combing/shampooing ). During the 7th week a test revealed some of liver function indicators... 

ok i got my hair cut around September. It was at the bottom of my ribcage and i got it cut a little higher than my collar bone. Ever since then its been falling out a lot more. Ive asked my parents multiple times if my hair line is receding. They say its not and i also get them to look at the top area of my head. It has got thinner i can tell. My grandma says its just the seasons but i don’t know if that’s true.I am a 16 year old male.... 

Hi, I have a few questions regarding hair loss and finasteride. Does tight motorcycle helmet causes hair loss.I’ve notice increased hair loss since i regularly started wearing full face helmet which is a bit tight on my hairline and genera crown area. Could it be possible to experience hair loss due to lack of iron mineral? Propecia is being advocated very often but how is it logical not considering the loss of 70% of your DHT as a serious... 

Dear Rassman, First of all, let me thank you for the kind of attention you give to the balding community. I have been told that I am suffering from MPB. As far as I can remember I first noticed it 6 years ago. I have used Fin and Minoxidil on and off but never more than 5-6 months and when I did, I never really paid much attention to the decline  Read More →

Hello Doctor, My hair loss pattern is probably a NW3 and I have little to no miniaturization. I am in my early twenties. I went for a consultation about 7 weeks ago and was told to hold on to take Propecia. My hair loss keeps getting worse. I keep losing hairs and are not growing back. Also, on the sides there does not seem to have the same fullness as years before. I would like  Read More →

Dear Dr. Rassman, My question is regarding the non-approved use of minoxidil for frontal balding. In your response here your thoughts were that it might work to some degree. My question is whether there is a physiological difference between balding at the hairline and on the crown? If not, is there some other reason why minoxidil might be less effective at the hairline, or … [ visit site to read more ]  Read More →

Here is a quote I just found on a health & fitness website: “ Over-masturbation or over-ejaculation converts too much testosterone into dihydrotestosterone(DHT). High levels of DHT overload the body causing baldness and possible prostate enlargement. Reducing the frequency of masturbation or ejaculation will help maintain low levels of DHT and avoid hair loss. ” So should I really believe this stuff and, well, ‘keep it in...
