You may want to add a new type of hair loss to the presentation termed fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution (FAPD) which although a type of AGA it is also a form of scarring alopecia and hair regrowth is typically NOT possible

@carmenwilley8858 - Microblading is an excellent solution and often works well. It is typically okay with rosacea, but you should check with your dermatologist.
I've been on finasteride 2.5mg for almost 2 months and wondering how long to take that dose before going up to 5mg (if that's even needed). No results yet except for a random 2-day shed at the 2-week mark 😬 but had early side effects that faded so don't want to go up unless it's needed. Thanks!
Finasteride takes 6-12 months to help. I generally have our patients wait 6 months before increasing the dose from 2.5 to 5.0mg. As always make sure to discuss your plan with your hair loss specialist.
What’s most recommended for peri-to-near menopausal females. I’m 55 and was recently offered oral minoxidil. I have not begun HRT. Not sure if HRT can have the same effect as oral minoxidil (?) ~ or what might be best in my case (sigh).

I am dealing from hair loss maybe due to telogen effluvium or anxiety. Nobody that I have seen can help me. Do you know a good clinic near Montreal in Canada. Thank you.
Hi, Thank you for these videos! I have had a tingly sort of feeling on my scalp that kinda comes and goes. Inflammation has been ruled out through genetic testing. Most likely androgenetic. I have been on oral minoxidil for almost 4 months now with no improvement yet… still hopeful! My question is if it is possible to feel hair loss and hair growth?
@jeffevieramsey3499 Tingling is usually from inflammation. We don't feel hair grow or fall out. Inflammation is not ruled out by genetic testing but rather by examining the scalp.
Thank you for sharing this. I recently saw a dermatologist who offered me oral minoxidil. I am 55 and hair very thinned out hair so not sure what I’ll do 😢
@@nc2764 for me oral minoxidil and finasteride don’t work they made my hair shed like crazy! Try topical minoxidil if you want but it’s messy and that’s why I didn’t persist using it. Oral finesteride works very well for men. My partner takes it and his head is so full of hair now after experiencing male pattern hair loss for years. Try a reputable laser hair cap I have been using almost a year now it does stop the crazy shedding a bit. Not completely cos hair still goes through shedding season but at least it makes my hair stay in my scalp for longer.
Ugh refusing to prescribe medication to women because they are at child baring age is so backward. Im a young women and I take isotretinion and finasteride and it has been very successful. I source the medication myself as my doctor refused to prescribe it. I don’t want kids. If I do I will stop using the medication and get pregnant when it is safe
@@emmaluciaev1938 this is medical care driven by fear of lawsuit not driven by giving the best results for the client. If I get pregnant I will get an abortion, I won’t sue my doctor for something I knew would happen. But not everyone is a good and decent person

Dr. I have been using topical Minoxidil and it has been causing me eye problems. Is this normal?
@alajandrajuarez6156 - Never heard of any eye problems from minoxidil. Go to your ophthalmologist.
@@meditresse . I did. I stopped using it and the irritation stoped. Now I am trying the pills instead.
THis is so helpful :-) Thank you so much!!!

I need a hair loss specialist in Tampa FL area, any recommendations? Three different dermatologists was a waste of my time. Thank you so much,
I am losing my eyebrows and eyelashes from Lichen Planopilaris. What about microblading?I do have Roceasa so would that be bad for my skin?

Does Medicare help with any hair loss?

Rogaine worked for me until I became allergic to the formulation---probably the carrier
In the other video you said that women who have had breast cancer should NOT use Finasteride?
Thank you for answering this. I have been using Finasteride and will now quit.
Asbolutely do not use finasteride with a history of breast cancer.
Is it ok for breastfeeding mothers to take these medications
No, we would not recommend these medications for those that are breastfeeding.
Obviously NO
Oral minoxidil is disgusting. Made me shed even worse for 3 months, never helped at all. Stopped it completely. Topical still works better.

Doctors are correct here, anti- conception methods are not 100% effective, the chances of a lawsuit are big here
