Can scars be cured with FUEs?
I do not like your use of the word ‘cured’. FUE (Follicular Unit Extractions) can be used to fill in scars found in the scalp, eyebrow or beard. The more that are placed and the closer they match the surrounding hair, the more they will cover a scar. Scars do have a different vasculature than normal skin, so at times we must reduce the densities of scars to get the best growth.
Is Nizoral better than other shampoos and can it promote hair growth?
Nizoral 1% (Ketoconazole 1%) is sold as an over the counter anti-dandruff shampoo. Nizoral 2% (Ketoconazole 2%) shampoo has twice the strength of the over the counter shampoo. The active ingredient, Ketoconazole is said to act as a DHT blocker. While some people who use Nizoral may believe that it does control hair loss, there is no objective evidence that it is anything more than a good shampoo.

So I just got some blood work done to decide if I wanted to start finasteride. My main concern is developing gyno. Anything here that sticks out to anybody? Thanks.
Test -618 ng/dl (Ref:264-916)
Free test -15.2 pg/ml (Ref:9.3-26.5)
DHT -47 ng/dl (Ref:30-85)
Estrogen -72 pg/ml (Ref:40-115)
Estradiol -37.5 pg/ml (Ref:7.6-42.6)
Prolactin -19.9 ng/ml (Ref:4-15.2)
I’m also about to turn 21 in a few days and I’m in pretty good shape physically.
The tests are normal and that is what I would expect. You can’t predict Gynecomastia when taking finasteride and the blood tests will not tell you anything.

I have ask my Dr for the count of my graft on the first and second day after the surgery to find out how many graft were implanted. I am getting a run0around. First I was told that he was going to email me, then he told me he was sending a copy to my home. Is there is a way he can altered since we got into a huge argument because my hairline one side is higher than the other and the grafts were sparce out too far. It doesn’t look like the 2000 graft I paid for. What should I do?
When technicans do the surgery, it is an illegal process as only a doctor can do the surgery. I would report the doctor to the medical board and they will take an action against that doctor. People like you put their life and the looks on the line and do not deserve that type of medical care

Yes, a Vitamin D Deficiency can cause hair loss. When it is corrected, you may not see a reversal of the hair loss if there is a genetic component to it. Women often have complex hair loss problems, so careful evaluation is critical before drawing conclusions to the cause of hair loss, which is often not so simple as taking Vitamin D.
A Norwood Class 6 can have a hair transplant. I have done hundreds of transplants on Class 6 and 7 patients with great results. Research some doctors and make sure that you meet some of their patients. We hold Open House events every month where former patients come in so people like you can see the results for themselves. Your donor supply needs to be assessed to determine what you can accomplish and a good surgeon can do this.

On a molecular level, how do ampetamines cause hair loss and how can this drug induced hair loss be halted or reversed? Thank you for you time.
I really do not know the answer to your question. My previous posting reflected what is known by the manufacturers of the various amphetamines and from others that have suffered from this hair loss side effect. I am sure that the answer is intricate and related to many other factors in those particular people taking the drug.
Snippet from the non-hair-loss article:
Eating food high in fiber may help control the progress of prostate cancer in people who are diagnosed with early stages of the disease, according to a new study.
The study was based on the observation that although prostate cancer incidence in Asian countries is same as in the West, the cancer rarely progress in Asian men. Researchers argue that the high-fiber diet may play a role in keeping the cancer from progressing.
The study was conducted on a set of mice that were either fed with inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), that’s found in high fiber diet or a diet without this component. Then, researchers used MRI to check the progress of the cancer in these mice.

No way! Hair is an organ, and therefore transplants from another person will always reject, alive or dead!

According to a New Scientist, Article 21, April 29, 2018, Northwestern University in Chicago reported that “People who prefer to stay up late seem to have a greater risk of dying early. A six year study of 500,000 people in the UK has found that those who are night owls were 10% more likely to die in that period.”
In this group of night owls, they also “found higher rates of diabetes, mental health problems and neurological conditions. They were also more likely to experience psychological stress, use drugs or alcohol, and not get enough exercise or sleep.”
