I had excessive bleeding and the doctors determined I have high estrogen. They put me on a birth control pill and it fixed the bleeding. I’m concerned because I had full luscious hair and now anyone can see through to my scalp. Please help me!
The birth control pills have been known to cause hair loss in some women. Speak with your doctor about the type of pill he has you on.

Stop using the Lamisil if it caused hair loss. You may have developed an allergic reaction to it.

I live in Brasil, I’m 41 year old and my grade of baldness is 6 / 7. I use a hairpiece for 18 year and i want to get free of this, but i have a problem, because when i started using , i was able to avoid peolple noticing that was a hair piece, as was very natural and my baldness was class 2/3 and as i used to travel a lot i didn4t see people so frequently. My case i believe is needed a scalp reduction for a start, but i’m afraid of procedures go wrong and i cannot remove the hairpiece to much in advance. Please help me . I can travel to NHI if necesary but I can forward photos to a better evaluation of my case
Thanks
Your story of how one starts with a hair piece and then gets caught in a cycle of more and more dependence as the hair loss advances, is a common story. Many of our patients have been where you are now. The problem for advanced hair loss patterned people is the availability of supply. The basic point is to find out if there is enough donor hair, when combined with good styling, to produce the type of coverage you want or need. That depends upon many factors, of which the number of hairs available for transplants is only one of these factors:

In answer to your other point, the idea of using scalp reductions, I will just say that this procedure has fallen into a bad reputation and most good surgeons do not do them anymore. The problems are that there is severe scarring on many patients and thinning of the donor hair to such a degree that there is not enough donor hair to restore the frontal area. Although there are some patients that may do well with them, there are far too many risks for the average patient. I know about these risks because I had three scalp reductions in the early 90s and was left with scars and a return of my entire balding area. I eventually got transplants and had enough donor hair to fill in the crown defect. Best of all for me was that I had no frontal hairloss. Had I been a Class 6-7 balding pattern, I would have been in trouble. So in conclusion, cutting out the bald spot is a risky surgery with many things that could go wrong. The key to a good hair restoration procedure is low risk and a normal, hairy outcome in a reasonable time-frame.

Can hairspray damage hair follicles and lead to hair loss?
If you brush or comb through your hair after the hair spray dries, you may pull out hair. In men and women with varying forms of alopecia, the use of hair sprays can be dangerous with rough combing of the hair. Best to wash it out rather than brush it out. Rough brushing can be a cause of hair loss made worse with hair sprays. Otherwise, hair spray by itself doesn’t equal hair loss.

Severe illnesses can cause hair loss. If you are not prone to genetic balding, then your hair may grow back.

What you are seeing is terrible post operative washing. You should have washed off all of the crusts on the day and the day following the surgery. When this is done correctly, within three days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish.
The recipient area requires daily washes to keep it free of crusts. I generally recommend the use of a sponge and supply my patient with a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient area daily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fear of losing grafts. If any crust are present, use a Q-tip and dip it into soapy water and roll it on the crusts. That will lift them off without dislodging the grafts. Never rub them, just roll the Q-tip on the recipient crust. I like to see no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from the donor area gone in 7-10 days with daily washing.

Wound healing is a natural process to restore the structure and function of injured or diseased tissues. Repair of a skin wound usually leads to a scar while regeneration implies fully recovery of function and structure of the damaged tissue. Adult skin wound usually heals with scar while fetal skin heals scarless. Hair regeneration in elderly scalp wound has never been observed. We reported an 80-year-old patient with a large wound on the scalp after excision of a basal cell carcinoma healed by secondary intention wound healing. The patient’s wound healed very well aesthetically. Interestingly, on approximate post wound day 180, a hair was observed to be growing towards the surface and eventually erupted in the center of the wound. The hair remained black at 42-month follow-up. This case demonstrated that neogenesis of hair is possible even in geriatric patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of hair regrow in human skin after wound healing.
