Hello,
I’m using flixotide 100mcg 2 times a day. Flixotide contains corticosteroid that works against inflammation for my asthma. Because it is a steroid, could it accelerate androgenetica alopecia? I can’t find good answers about this subject.
Hopefully you can help me. Cheers.
Chronic use of steroids can negatively impact hair loss, but I don’t see anything in the literature that shows hair loss as a side effect of Flixotide (fluticasone). There is little I can offer here.
If you really had 6000 grafts, the doctor should have spread it throughout your head, not concentrate it in the front and sparsely place it behind throughout the remaining balding scalp, I don’t know what your doctor was thinking. To find out exactly what he did, ask your doctor for a copy of the surgical record and the count sheet as that will tell you what you actually got because I am having difficulty believing that there is 6000 grafts there.

Recently i have been losing more and more hair so i decided to look at cause. I saw one was after surgery from the anesthetic. I had my appendix out recently. Is it possible my hair loss is from the anesthetic? Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
What you are asking may be possible, but I do not know if that’s what is really going on. Trying to find personalized medical answers for a diagnosis on the Internet is common and I don’t blame you, but the best help I can give you is to recommend that you see a doctor (face to face) and ask them for a medical diagnosis after they examine you in person and take a detailed medical history.
Some patients (as you’ve seen online) report some hair loss after a general anesthesia, but there can be many other medical reasons for hair loss in women.
Dr. Christine Shaver and other dermatologists are picking up diseases of the scalp in young balding men. These men present with itching, inflammation and hair loss. Upon biopsies taken by Dr Shaver, she identifies about one young male patient each week with a condition called Lichen Planopilaris or Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, both autoimmune diseases of the scalp. In some men who eventually get a hair transplant, the hair transplant is likely to be rejected by the body. It may also reduce the growth or prevent growth in a hair transplant. If you have itching and inflammation, seek out a dermatologist and have two biopsies, one in the frontal where the inflammation and the itchiness is most prevalent and then a second biopsy from the Donor area in the back of the head. A biopsy read by an expert, will make the diagnosis and then special treatments are required. Catching it early is critical for everyone who has these diseases.
Hello Doc,
I have recently been diagnosed with low testosterone levels and my doctor recommended that I start testosterone replacement therapy. Is it possible that once my testosterone levels reach “normal” or average levels that I will experience hair loss?
This is something you need to discuss with your doctor and express your concern to him/her. If you carry the genes for genetic androgenic alopecia (AGA) then testosterone replacement therapy can potentially cause hair loss.
i have been taking proscar for probably 7 or 8 years. a few years ago i had a pretty bad shed. freaked me out. however the hair did come back. again, i am having another shed and i\’m pretty stressed about it. is it normal to have sheds periodically even while on proscar?
It is important to realize the the genetic hair loss has its own course, independent of the effects of the drug. What you think is shedding from finasteride, is probably more genetic hair loss. Hair loss goes in waves and cycles of loss (shedding) most likely be due to your genetics, not the finasteride. You should discuss this with your prescribing doctor.
Note the importance of buying legit Propecia from a real pharmacy!!
Couple years old but a UK Press Release about fake Propecia rings true today.
Thanks for sending this in. Yes, it is from late 2007, but it goes to show that counterfeit Propecia does exist and is a problem. One crackdown (no matter how large it was) in the UK doesn’t eliminate the problem altogether. Buyers need to use common sense when buying prescription drugs off the internet without a prescription.
Here, an area was left untouched, and the FUE was done above and below the untouched area. From looking at these photos, you can see that the FUE was distributed in the normal donor area nicely, but more FUE than this will cause significant depletion. The FUE was done above and below an area which has SMP done.

A recent Futurism article discussed a new development that could yield the same benefits of gastric bypass surgery without the surgery part. A team of researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital believes that weight loss isn’t necessarily the key to curing Type 2 Diabetes. They’ve developed a compound they call LuCl (Luminal Coating of the Intestine) using an FDA-approved drug called sucralfate as a base. The compound temporarily coats the lining of the intestine and makes it unable to absorb nutrients.
