on the Oprah show, she had Dr. Oz, and he said that Rogaine doesnt regrow your hair, but stop it from falling out. that rogaine stops some chemical in your scalp from produceing; where this chemical is what makes hair fall out. is this true?

I have had alopecia totalis since 1995, and haven’t looked into ‘treatment’ in the past decade. Just curious if someone has had success with any new procedures. I have has cortisone inj, PUVA light treatments, rogaine, Kevis, prednisone. The doc thought my theodore sprinkles for my asthma reacted severely with Cipro, some reaction in bloodstream and eight weeks later bald..

I am 13 years old a have cholesterol and my hair is very thin and i kinda have hair loss. I went to my hair doctor and what they did is they took a peice of my scalp like skin of my head and they took it to the lab to see what was happening. My doctor said i have REALY low iron and that i have ALOPECIA AREATA. I realy dont want to loose my hair and get more balder than What i already am. Well he told me to useWomen’s Rogaine(haiur regrowth treatment) witch i could buy at any drug store, and he prescribed me CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE TOPICAL SOLUTION USP, 0.05%mL. And so the doctor told me to use it at the same time twice daily and what happened was i was getting realy bad hedaches so i stoped using it. And so i dont know what else to do cause i realy dont want to suffer anymore. I was always picked on for having aliitle bit of hair and that realy hurts me.Like i said i dont want to suffer and i just want to get cured of this.I just hope someone outthere has a solution.PLEASE HELP!!!!!

My son began to take propecia a month ago. He is also using Rogaine. I am sensing a serious emotional reaction – he is sadder, seems depressed, cries easily. These are not his usual personality traits. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this as a result of taking propecia.

i just wanna know approx how much does hair transplant cost? does it make a difference? im a female with female pattern baldness. i am using rogaine but it doesnt do nething.. will hair transplant look good?

Im 19 and already pretty bad im trying rogaine and i was just wondering is there anything i can do such as a deit and medical treatment of some kind that would stop it?

Other than a hair transplant?? I have tried propecia and Rogaine and nothing has worked. Would be interested in anything that has worked for others.

I have read that there is no cure for alopecia, but there are many cases where hair growth may come back. Are there specialists in alopecia that anyone could recommend who can give better treatment options? It would be for a ten year old who is not responding to rogaine or cortisone shots.

I have thinning hair. I think it is due to tight braids that i have been getting for the last few years. 8 months ago i noticed thinning but thought it was genetic. But now i think traction may be the culprit. I was wondering if i could just use rogaine to kickstart the regrowth process and then stop after i see my initial regrowth?

no, right? that means ocean water is the key to preventing male-pattern baldness. so ocean water is a good substitute for rogaine.

Which is true?

If there is a way to regrow hair, what is it? –Particularly the hair at the temple which has thinned from wearing tight ponytails.

Besides things like rogaine (because I’ve heard you have to keep using it b/c once you stop, the hair falls back out)

I know that Rogaine and Propecia can help, but are there any medications that are natural that can regrow hair, or slow down and stop hair loss? It’s really Important because I’m 17 and i’m experiencing Male-pattern baldness.
