Fantastic response. You are very sensitive to the combined medications (minoxidil and finasteride) you used. I suspect that in the next few months you will see even more gains
Increasing Propecia Dose — Should I Take Half Early and Half Late in the Day?
Great information given by you and your staff. I know sometimes patients have been put on a higher dosage of propecia after years of being on the medication due to loss of effectiveness. If you were to go from a quarter pill to half a pill would it be better to take two quaters at different times throughout the day due to propecia’s short half life.
thanks
First of all, I’m assuming when you say you take a quarter pill, you’re talking about the 5mg Proscar… not a quarter of the 1mg Propecia.
Secondly, you must understand Propecia doesn’t actually lose effectiveness over the years, but rather you’re losing the battle as your genetic predisposition is showing through. It’s the classic game of tug-of-war. You cannot cheat genes. Now there are a few patients who do elect to take an increased dose of finasteride, but I often find that this is hit and miss as for additional benefits.
As for your question on dividing the dose to twice a day, I would think it would make better scientific sense to take it all at once, especially since you would want (in theory) a higher concentration in your body. If you break it down to twice a day, you will lose the advantage of the higher potency (all assuming this is going to work). If you take it in the morning, your testosterone level is highest, so it just might be more effective.

Inflammation and Hair Loss At Vertex Started In My Late 40s
I am 51 years old, i do not have anyone on my parents side that have male pattern baldness. I have always had a lot of hair, about 2 or 3 years ago i started to have this redness, inflame irritation at my vertex on top of my scalp. it has thinned out so much that you can see my scalp and my hair has thinned all over. I have been to several derm doctors but all of them are bald their self and they don’t take the time to help me. one doctor did a patch test on my back but everything was normal. i have oily and hair that has to be washed everyday because it is so fine. I have used head and shoulder shampoo which seems to work, but when i use it i feel a kind of a tingling burning feeling at the vertex, where the inflame, redness is at, but it will go away and feels better. does head and shoulder shampoo suppose to do this? It will return unless i keep using it. Should i continue to use this shampoo? I dont know what to use, Please help.
I have given up on derm doctors because it takes so long for a appointment, and they seem that they don’t care. I even dread to wash my hair everyday, but i have to because it is so fine an sweaty and oily. I have tried rogaine, but it irritated my vertex area so bad that i can’t use it. i am losing a lot of hair in the shower, I don’t know what to use. Right now my vertex is irritated and red. Please help. Thanks
I would like to help, but there is no way to diagnose your problems or even guess at what you may be experiencing without an exam. Daily hair washes with shampoo for oily hair is important for you to use. If your hair is fine, get a gentle shampoo.
I realize a good doctor may be hard to come by, but start with your primary care doctor and ask for a recommendation. I wouldn’t think that any doctor would want to be seen as a non-caring physician so you should try hard to appeal to their caring side. Speak frankly if you feel that they are not paying you the attention you want and need. Being direct is critically important to the doctor/patient relationship.

instructions for cleaning scalp with minoxidil on it
If you’re using min it is an oil or propylene glycol based substance that you are putting on your scalp twice a day, you need to be rinsing that off with some kind of detergent to get rid of that additional oil deposits. Minoxidil can also be incredibly drying so you need to maintain the moisture of your hair so that it doesn’t become dry or brittle or unhealthy. My suggestion for you would be to come off of the minoxidil and start with a shampoo conditioner leave-in conditioning treatment and see if you can’t get your scalp and hair back to a natural healthy state. You must use shampoo and conditioner every time you wash your head. A minimum of two times a week

I had 3000 grafts and got hit in the head 1 week after surgery and lost two grafts
Considering that you had 3,000 grafts, two grafts will not make any difference. Don’t worry, wash it up properly and gently and then go on with your life. You clearly used a selfie to show the bleeding area, good job!

Surgeons say do not do a hair transplant because I am 24
I’ve been on Fin for 2 years, Rogaine for 6 years, and dermarolling for the past 4 months. Also been using Nizoral shampoo for like 3 years. Talked with 3 different reputable hair transplant doctors and they all said I am too young (24 yrs old) for transplant and that my hairloss seems pretty aggressive. I have diffuse hairloss and was told that my donor reserves are somewhat limited. With the current pattern I will probably end up as NW6/7. I feel like Fin/Rogaine had slowed it down a bit but it seems to be less effective then it use to be and my hairloss is starting to accelerate again. I’ve been thinking about doing PRP now. Any other things worth trying assuming money is not an issue? One of the hair transplant doctors recommended I switch from Rogaine foam to liquid since it absorbs slightly better. I’ve been on it for a couple weeks now and have had major dandruff. Hoping it will clear in a couple weeks otherwise I will switch back to foam.
P.S. I’m not looking for a surgeon to say yes. I talked with some of the best surgeons in the game, and they all said no, so i’m going to take their word for it. I will not go to some shady place to have a hair transplant.
I wrote a paper a bit over a year ago suggesting that when combining FUE (of FUT) with Scalp Micropigmentation, almost anyone can have a hair transplant (https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Combining_Follicular_Unit_Extraction_and_Scalp.98621.pdf). A try to teach here that everyone needs a Personalized Master Plan for their hair loss and that includes a hair transplant when appropriate. Although I tend to delay hair transplants on 24 year old men, to at least 25 or 26, if the balding pattern is clearly evident, I have often transplanted someone of your age provided that the man is (1) mature, (2) realistic, (3) has realistic expectations which I help set and (4) they have the financial means to complete what they started.

Iron Deficiency and I’m 40 and a Woman. Once Its Fixed, When Can I Expect It to Improve?
You might have to wait out a full hair cycle before seeing improvement. Hair cycles in women run between 2-5 years. The older you are, the shorter the cycle. You are in between the cycles of an older and younger woman.
