Both Caffeine and Minoxidil when applied to the scalp, can induce hair growth. In a recent study in a peer reviewed journal, both 2% caffeine and the 5% minoxidil were both equal in value when applied to the scalp topically.?

Exampe, those who can afford to). Is there some downside that is not apparent, which is why people bother with minox and fin?
A hair transplant is a careful decision not to be taken lightly. I tell my patients to take their time, wait until they are at least 26 and have the funds put away. Develop a good Master Plan for the hair loss as it evolves as hair loss is generally progressive for some men so even a hair transplant may have to be repeated to keep your hair appears up.

This is a difficult question so i will try to guess relying on my 30 years in this business. Using a 70% probability (my opinion), by the age of 26 and using the HAIRCHECK instrument and trichoscopy you will know your final balding pattern, a 80% probability (my opinion), by the age of 30 and using the HAIRCHECK instrument and trichoscopy, you will know your final balding pattern, a 90-95% probability (my opinion), by the age of 35 and using the HAIRCHECK instrument and trichoscopy you will know your final balding pattern. A few men may be normal past 35 and still develop balding, but that may reflect less than 5% of men.
2020-04-02 07:58:122020-04-02 18:13:29By what age will I know my balding pattern?
I don’t have the study done by Norwood and Shiell, but my memory is good that 7% of balding men (which is half of all men) will be a Class 7 by the age of 26. I suspect that the number for a Class 6 will be in the 15-25% range, but I don’t remember for sure. I did find this on the internet chart to point you to the age distribution for the Norwood Class 2-4 by age distribution to 40 years of age
2020-04-02 18:15:562020-04-02 18:59:16By 26 years old, how likely will I develop a Class 6 or 7 pattern of balding?
My scalp on the left side of the hair line has had a feeling of burning off and on for the past 6 months and in the area the hair line is thinning and receding. I am 19 male and was just wondering if it is normal to feel pain if you are going bald geneticly.
Male pattern hair loss is not physically painful. The burning sensation may be secondary to an inflammatory process or an underlying medical condition. You should see a medical doctor for a correct diagnosis.
Hi,
I;m really hoping you can help me. About 7 mths ago I had my hair coloured. Since then I have had a burning sensation on the right side of my head, my right ear and on the back of my neck. I have also noticed much more hair falling then I have seen before, my hair is starting to feel thinner and its scaring me to death.
I was very breifly examined by a dermatologist and she said it look like sebhorric dermatitis. I have used all the shampoos and the zinc spray she gave me and I still have no relief from the hair fall or the burning. I have no idea what to do. The top part of my scalp feels tender when I touch it. Is it possible I could be allergic to something in the shampoo? If you have any suggestions at all I would be so so greatful.
On a side note I have tried tea tree oil and the flakes seem to be almost gone, but still the burning and hair loss are there.
Please help
Since you started with a dermatologist, I would suggest that you go back. The symptoms you mentioned (burning on the right side of your head, ear and the back of your neck) could be a neurological problem. People who had hair coloring come to me with a wide variety of complaints that I often have difficulty relating to the hair coloring process. Sometimes the complaints are related to skin problem that are precipitated by the chemicals in the dying compounds used. Sometimes they may have nothing to do with the hair dying process or the chemicals used. Most professional stylists use commercially safe compounds.
The dermatologist can help you assess all of these issues.

Transplants might work but scalp expansion might be a better solution followed by a hair transplant. This is straight forward for doctors with the proper experience
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.

Hi, I am a female and recently I have been experiencing these bumps on my head and they don’t itch, its just that I know they are there and I want them to go away and so i pick at them and pull the hairs inside the bump out. I am on Adderall for ADHD/ADD and I was wondering if that could have anything to do with this bumps. Also I am wondering if you know what these bumps could be. I also highlight my hair, and I am wondering if you think I might be allergic to the dye or if i could be allergic to the color shampoo I use. I have been to a dermotoligist and she said it had something to do with hair follicles. Thanks for your time!
You did not ask your dermatologist the right questions. Go back to her. If she said that the bumps were hair follicles, then you might have an infection (folliculitis) which she should have treated you for. I really can not tell what is happening to you, but I would be pleased to see you at no charge and give you an opinion if you wanted to come out to my offices in California. Whatever you do, stop picking on it and stay away from the hair dye that you are using to minimize the things it could be.
