The findings come from a meta-analysis of 302 clinical trials with 262,354 participants enrolled between 1994 and 2015. The median age of these participants was 6.49 years younger (P < .001) than the median age of real-world patients with the same cancers in a federal database. That’s a “substantial difference,” the authors comment. (Taken from Medscape)

A girl I know started losing hair and it turned out she had a zinc deficiency. She takes tablets for it now and says its slowed down her hair loss. She says that it’s a form of alopecia that she has.
Yes, and if you know that you have a Zinc deficiency, then Zinc supplements will work. This is very rare in an American Diet.
Hi Doc,
I have written to you before. For a while I have been “shopping around” for the best techniques, as well as how cost effective the available procedures are. So far by comparison, NHI has the most natural looks I’ve seen. (in the mild or moderate cases, the more severe cases are less convinceing.) However, my question is this: If you have oily skin, is this a problem for surgery or healing. Also, I was close to have the transplant surgery. I postponed further pursuit of the surgery due to possible symptoms of cancer. (Tests were negative thank God). Now if that ever were the case, I am assumeing that if you had a transplant surgery, chemotheropy would cause all hair to fall out. In conclusion, Is scarring so severe, that being bald or even desireing a haircut style cut close (military style) would bring an alarming rate of attention? I thank you in advance for answering my concerns…
To begin, I am happy to hear that the recents test for cancer were negative. No, oily scalp is not a problem for a hair transplant.
If you drive your life in fear of cancer then you have a problem that needs professional help. Chemotherapy MAY cause hair loss anywhere in the body as chemo impacts rapidly growing cells in the body. Ask yourself what drives your life. When hair is lost with transplants, it almost always returns after the the course of chemotherapy is completed. You can live in fear of what may happen and play into those fears by creating a life around “what if”. Healthy people may have a worst case scenario, but live their lives for meaning, love, happiness, family, friends, and such.
As far as your concerns about scarring, I would suggest that you research the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure. You can find more information about this here, here, and here.

I am an African American woman and have braided hair…is it safe to use Rogaine on my scalp???
If you are losing hair, it would be advisable to find the cause for the hair loss before seeking treatment. Rogaine is a medication to grow hair. It does not matter if you are African American, a woman, or have braided hair. If you are concerned about hair loss, treatment options, or side effects associated with medications, please see a doctor.

21 y/o M Currently been on fin 1mg ED for over a year and a half. Closing in on one year oral min 2.5 mg ED. Got some great results from the combination until about February time I’ve slowly started to get worse and worse. Im still above baseline but I’m starting to consider other options. What do y’all think. Not just my case in specific but in general would it be bad to get a transplant because of shock loss etc?

A hair transplant doctor I know has noticed that some of her finasteride patients who started taking cannabis, has seen ED appearing. The article states: “What’s good for the goose may be bad for the gander. Specifically, marijuana use may cause erectile dysfunction in men. Of note, erectile dysfunction is the most frequent male sexual disorder.” For men on finasteride and who are using marijuana and have sexual side effects, maybe there is a link that potentiates the ED in finasteride users.

Hi Doctor. Thank you for having this great site!!
About 25years ago I had a HT using the hobby drill method. Now I have 3 rows of white plugs. I am like most of the others on this site and want to shave my head. I was wondering if you have ever considered a procedure to re-drill the plugs and suture them closed similar to the way you show it being done to patients for the top of their heads. I have spoken to other doctors and they want to cut the entire area out and suture it closed. They also state that it would take two or three procedures. Why can’t someone just re-drill and suture shut the area?
We have done what you described — taking each of the old style hair plugs out one-by-one and suturing each wound closed. We have also cut out the entire row and sutured it all closed. And we’ve even done a combination of both. Here’s a step-by-step story of the process one man took to repair his pluggy hairline. It took multiple surgeries to complete his repair, with the first procedure being a removal of a row of plugs, and the second procedure being individual removal of some of the remaining plugs.
My point is, everybody is different and every treatment plan for each individual is unique. In the end, find the doctor that you trust and ask to see some before after results of these repair procedures. You may even ask to speak to their former patients or meet them. Good luck.
