Warts and Hair Loss
Hi, I was wondering if warts can cause hairloss. I just realized that I have had a wart on my foot for quite some time (I just figured out that it was a wart). If warts aren’t treated can they cause hairloss and will the “trauma” of the treatment cause hair shedding? Thank you!
No… unless you are very stressed over your warts. Stress can cause hair loss. Warts do not.

Happy New Year from BaldingBlog!
We’re taking a couple days off for the New Year celebration, but will be back on Wednesday, January 2nd with more hair loss questions and answers!
2007 was a very good year for BaldingBlog, as the site saw substantial growth in visitor traffic and number of questions answered. I’m pleased that I was able to help so many this year. I believe we published somewhere around 1700-1800 posts in the past 12 months! It’ll be hard to top 2007, but here’s to a great 2008!
Happy New Year!
Weak Results 6 Months After Transplant
Hello. i’m 23 and had a 2000 graft procedure in new york on july 1st 2005. its been about 6 months and some weeks and i havent seen the dramatic results i thought i was suppose to see. I asked the doctor and he says its early and everyone is different, just wait and be patient. What do you think? I “feel” some hairs growing in different spots but not everywhere, and i have some slight cobblestoning, does that go away?
Thanks so much
I always tell my patients to wait a full 8 months before judging what the results look like. At 8 months, 80-90% of the transplants should have grown and much of them at styling length of 2 inches or so.
Be patient and wait it out. Significant changes will probably be evident in the next few months.
Will a Hair Transplant Work Well Without Being on Minoxidil and/or Finasteride?
Your age has a lot to do with the drug decision. IF you are over 35, drugs are less important to hold on to your existing hair with a hair transplant. If you are 26, the existing hair is under threat of loss if your pattern is more advanced and you have not lost the hair that you are going to lose yet. These younger people do better on finasteride with a hair transplant because it holds on to the existing hair and prevents shock loss, which is a side effect common in men in their 20s who get a hair transplant.

What about using body hair for a hair transplant?
I’m a black male with curly hair that I keep cut very short, I was wondering if I get a hair transplant would I be able to use chest/stomach(I have a lot) hairs as donor hairs since I’m never gonna try to grow my hair out past 5-10 mm?
Chest and abdominal hair is not same character of scalp hair and add to that it only grows out a short time (6 months) and then goes into sleep mode (telogen for 6 months) so the value is not really there and the length is limited as well. Scalp hair grows out for a few years and allows the full character of your hair to show. Unless you don’t have any scalp hair, I would recommend a scalp donor source for the hair transplant, not the chest or abdomen. Beard hair is a reasonable alternative option if you don’t have scalp hair as beard hair grows out for a few years and has a strong character to it, but it shouldn’t be used on the frontal hairline.

Have We Focused Too Much On The Harmful Effects Of Sunlight? – It May Prolong Your Life
It seems that there is some secret to actual exposure to sunlight that supplements of Vitamin D does not give you. “In a study of 30,000 Swedish women recruited in 1990 and questioned about their sun-seeking behavior found that the more they had sunbathed, the less likely they were to have died 20 years later. In fact those who did the most sunbathing were hlf as likely to be dead as those who had avoid the sun entirely” said Rishard Weller in New Scientist June 13.
“Other research backs this up. Another Scandinavian study of 40,000 women found that those who went on the most sunbathing holidays were least likely to have died 15 years later…. We have been so distracted by what we see – skin cancer – and have forgotten what maters most. Vitamin D is often used as a euphemism for “healthy sunlight”, but an increasing number of supplementation studies show that the benefits of sunlight cannot all be put down ti it. ”
It also seems that people with pale skin and sun exposure get the worst cancers of the skin such as melanomas, while those with tan skin, get less aggressive skin cancers.
What can I do about my hair loss?
What I’m doing right now is a comb over with buzzed sides. I have no balding, just thinning behind my hairline as far back as the crown. Kind of a pompadour deal. I keep reading that the comb over is a cardinal sin, but TBH it looks pretty good on me and people don’t seem to notice.
You have an unusual pattern of thinning. This might best be treated with minoxidil and/or finasteride for a year or two. See a specialist in the field of hair restoration for good advice and the preparation of a good personalized Master Plan for your short and long term hair loss

Head is Sensitive After Wearing a Beanie
I just realized recently that after wearing a beanie (all types…polyester, cotton etc.) for a long period, my head becomes all sensitive. My brother experienced this too…and hypothesized that because the hair follicle is ‘pushed’ into one direction for so long, it becomes sensitive. It made me think…perhaps they (hair follicles) are really fragile? But then I think…this never happens when I wear a regular hat…do you have any idea why this happens?
Many of the Jewish faith wear yarmulkes, and the Pope wears a zucchetto (both are skullcaps), and they keep it on most of the time. These are loose fitting and non-constricting. If your beanie is tight, then maybe it is putting pressure on the peripheral nerves and causing your problem. I do not believe that there is any connection to the fabric, because you have used caps with different fabrics and still experience the same reaction. I don’t really have an answer for you, unfortunately, except for the too tight explanation, but you know how tight it is on your head. Covering part or all of the head is essentially the same, whether with a skullcap, beanie, or even a baseball cap.
What do I do about my balding?
From this single photo, I don’t think that you are balding. Your hairline is a V-shape, typical of a mature male hairline. The fact that you have a widow’s peak indicates the location of your juvenile hairline at the tip of the widow’s peak. What you have drawn is a female-shaped hairline. Get an expert to do the hairline for you. If you are planning a hair transplant, then you will have to live with this hairline for the rest of your life. Really want to do this?
