[MERGED] Hair Loss / Alopecia ( No Selling Please )

[Ira]

If you're female and this problem is recent, you may want to consult a dermatologist to get to the bottom of things. Also, avoid using products which tend to damage hair like hair dryers, hair products, or too-vigorous/rough combing. Your hair may have just been damaged by these. A lot of the people using PEx give their thumbs up to Mane And Tail shampoo--you may want to try that out.

Doc ask ko *** po kung ano *** Minoxidil? thanks po uli!

[Ira]

It's a medication which is effective in some types of baldness.

I think I have the similar problem. Everytime babasain ko na ang buhok ko and when I apply shampoo in it, marami akong makikitang buhok sa kamay ko. Also when I comb it. Should I also visit a dermatologist?

What can Mane & Tail shampoo do to the hair? Sabi wag raw gagamitin pag manipis ang buhok dahil matapang daw.

[Ira]

I have no idea what that shampoo does.

It's originally formulated for the horse's mane. But its safe for humans "daw". Ako, I have the same problem, I've been using VMV's shampoo for three days pa lang and still waiting if the hair fall will be lessened. I'd stay clear of mane and tail because it might be too strong for my hair specially that the formula was originally for horse's mane which have thick hair strands.

pero there were news na madami daw pekeng horse's shampoo dito sa pinas.maganda sanang gamitin kaso nakakatakot baka peke ang mabili.

As I mentioned before, Minoxidil is only effective in some cases of baldness. That's the problem with people who think they know as much as doctors when it comes to medical conditions or who want to save a few measly bucks. See a dermatologist and don't self prescribe.

I agree. That was what the derma told me, she only prescribes minodoxil unless the patient really really needs it for her/his condition. Just consulted my derma about my falling hair, she said its just a phase for the hair that may last up to three years, yun falling hair may last up to 3 months. She did a test with my hair, she combed her fingers at pag may nakuha syang five strands it could mean the person could be sick. And no strand of my hair fell into her hands when she did the test. One of the tips she gave me is avoid having your hair colored, permed, relaxed or any hair treatment. When you want to have a hot oil treatment, huwag daw ikukulob yun buhok. Or when you apply oil like in your hair, leave it just for thirty minutes. Do not use those hair doctor comb (yun may metal) instead use a fine tooth comb. Avoid having you hair blow dried. Oily and wet hair can aggravate the problem, so do not fall asleep with wet hair and after taking a bath dry you hair immediately thru the help of an electric fan. And most of all take vitamins! specifically Vitamin C.

Fairly easy steps to follow and most of all its safe. But again, different strokes for different folks so consult you derma now.

I'm a guy, 23 years of age and recently my friends say numinipis na raw buhok ko.

I encounter falling hair, lalo na pag basa sya.

When I last made a checkup sabi I should apply Minoxidil to my hair.

Anyway, I'm still going for a second opinion. Where should I get my hair checked?

Any dermatologist should be able to shed some light on your problem.

[sheilaskie]

minoxidil? san nabibili un? ako din yan *** problem ko..

[skuidward]

sa mercury din yata meron..

what is the cause of falling hair and "patay na buhok"? is there anything we can do to prevent or lessen it? tnx

[skewer]

doc,im a guy, 21 yrs old, and before i use hair gel to style my hair, kaso tinigil ko na kasi sabi ng friends ko prang napapanot na daw yung sa may tuktok(right part, medyo likod) ng ulo ko. sabi din nung nagugupit ng buhok ko, manipis na daw yung buhok ko dun na dati naman hindi. btw, i've used hairgel before for about 3 years straight, araw araw.

tiningnan ko nga naman sa salamin, oo nga, mas manipis na yung buhok dun sa part na yun nang ulo ko. may buhok pa naman yung parteng yun pero konte lang tapos medyo prominent nga yung scalp lalo na pag basa at naiilawan. di naman malaki pero enough to be noticed pag tinitigan mo. so tinigil ko na yung paggamit nung gel hoping na tumubo na uli yung hair dun sa part na yun.

tapos almost two years na nakakalipas since nung nag stop ako gumamit ng hair gel whatsoever, pero bakit ganun di parin uli sya tumutubo? meron ding mga about 10-20 strands na nalalagas pag naliligo ako. lumipat na ako ng gumugupit sa buhok ko, ganun din ang napansin nya, pati nung ibang friends ko din, sabi nila, manipis pa din yung part na sinabi ko. eh syempre, concious ako kasi baka malagas na lahat ng buhok ko ayoko naman...

yung hairgel ba ang dahilan nung pagnipis nung buhok ko?eto ba yung sinasabing alopecia? should i see a dermatologist na regarding my problem? can my hair grow back to normal?

sorry doc kung mraming tanong..thanks in advance...

If your family has a history of thinning hair, it's pretty much hereditary.

It's also possible that you have alopecia arreata, which is a localized patch of baldness. I really can't tell without seeing you. This one is usually caused by stress.

It's best, though, to consult a dermatologist so you'd know what caused your problem and how to solve it .

thanks doc! oo nga, my dad has thinning hair din e, pati na rin yung iba kong uncles.

another question, is alopecia arreata serious? i mean, yun ba kadalasan ang simula ng baldness sa men? can it be cured?
