The color contrast between hair and skin color is very important in determining the fullness of your hair. This man has lost a lot of hair, but because he is light blonde, his hair loss doesn’t stand out like a newspaper print of black hair on white skin.

When you say pencil size from the 1980w, you mean the shaft of a pencil? Presumably this little bit of tissue had several follicles? When I heard the term in the past I thought they were little wigs you wore in the receded area!

A hollow drill was used in the back of the head that cored out a pencil size plug of hair. These were placed in the front in rows. Only a quarter of an area was covered with each of four surgeries with the idea that when eventually filled in, the four quarter patterns would cover the balding areas. Unfortunately, the idea was flawed, because after the plug was put into the scalp, it would contract squeezing the plug to a very high hair density. The the central part, would die off so that the plug looked like donuts. With these high density plugs surrounding a hole in the center, the unfortunate victims has a pattern of hair plugs that anyone could see within 20 feet. I, personally, can’t believe that the public accepted this result, but they did, maybe because they felt that a dolls head of hair was better than a bald head of no hair.

In a single hair pull like you are discussing, the hair usually returns within 6 months. However, a few reports indicated that it did not return, so then a hair transplant is the solution.

I have reported this here before on BaldingBlog: https://baldingblog.com/?s=hair+pulled+out&x=0&y=0

This woman had a botched hairline from a hair transplant. Clearly the doctor did not understand that the female hairline shape is concave, so I put some marks on her forehead to show what might be a reasonable correction. Of course, the final design should be with the patient, one on one with the doctor. This is not even a good hairline for a man as it looks like Eddie Munster. Doctors who do this type of work, unfortunately, can’t be stopped other than by the patients who can take them to court for a lot of money and find a doctor like me willing to be an expert witness in any court action taken.

This looks like Alpecia areata, an autoimmune disease which impacts the hair. You should see a dermatologist and upon examination with a hand microscope he/she will see ‘exclamation mark’ hairs which makes the diagnosis. The a biopsy and a special treatment routine is needed.

I took finasteride for a year and developed gyno from it. When i noticed the lump in my left chest i stopped taking it. However, what happened was weird. After stopping finasteride for like more than a month, the hard lump in my left chest disappeared but at the same time a hard lump appeared in my right chest. My left nipple is still swollen and big though. But on pressing it i dont feel a lump.

I want to know whether this gyno will go back on its own or if surgery is must. I never had gyno before and i’m 100% sure its from finasteride.

If the lump remains, you should see a doctor. Breast cancer is very rare in men, but it does happen.

I had a hair transplant 8 months ago and I am bothered by bumps which are on the skin everywhere there is a graft. What can this be and will it go away?

Bumpy skin in the recipient area (called cobble stoning) reflects the types of recipient sites and the way the grafts were placed at the time of your original surgery. If the grafts were small, the wounds were very small and the grafts were left flat to the surrounding skin, then there should be no bumps present. See your surgeon and ask your surgeon about the problem that is clearly bothering you.
