  1. Yes, doing both those things would be beneficial but I think you need to do more than that. You have to understand that having an "itchy and painful" scalp is NOT normal and avodart is NOT a panacea for inflammation. You will continue having problems while the inflammation persists. Green Tea is a simple anti-inflammatory measure (drink at least one per day) and so is egg white applied directly to the scalp and left to dry for an hour (soothes the roots and prevents excess sebum build up). Gentle scalp massage can also help. People also use supplements like Biotin, Taurine, Stinging Nettle leaves, Zinc, R+ALA, Krill, Lysine, Borage oil for inflammation as well as Shampoo's with salicylic acid
  2. That's your problem right there. You have a scalp inflammation problem and you need to adress the root cause of that inflammation (whether internal or external) otherwise you will continue to lose ground. Have a close look at your daily routine including diet, supplements and daily activities etc to see if there is anything you have started or stopped doing that you weren't doing before. I had similar symptoms in the past where I thought Finasteride stopped working but I found out years later that it was the effects of being in a high stress work environment, eating less healthy and switching to a higher protein (high Tuna content) diet. Tuna is absolute poison to the hair roots due to the high mercury and heavy metals content.
  3. I can tell you now that it is counterproductive to press down hard when dermarolling. All you are doing is causing inflammation and if you keep doing it the inflammation will trigger hair loss. You will get much better results lightly gliding the roller across the scalp and attacking the thinning areas in multiple directions.
  4. I've had a lot of experience with ingrown hairs. I found that tea tree oil helps - seems to act like a scavenger beneath the surface of the skin. The best way I've found is to use a dermapen. It initially leaves the surface a bit red but it sorts the problem out quickly.
  5. Not really. Dr Umar has treated much worse cases than this.
  6. Hmmm........not sure about that, I think the UK still holds that title
  7. In my experience, spending some time in the inverted position each day does improve blood circulation to the scalp and helps slow down hair loss. It's also very good for your mind and general well being. You don't need to hang upside down - the shoulder stand position is good enough. I take medication (including minoxidil) and can tell you that my baseline daily hair loss is noticeably less if I'm spending 5 mins per day in the inverted position. I think it genuinely helps prolong the hair growth cycle.
  8. Yep, the baldness gene never sleeps You can also add Michael Caine and Stevie Wonder into the mix.
  9. Yes, go ahead and do it.........you won't regret it and it will give you peace of mind.
  10. Yes, you can go for a 2nd hair transplant and fill in the crown as long as you continue to use beard hair. If I was in your situation I would definitely go for it, no doubt about it.
  11. LOL..........as always the devil is in the details "There isn't enough evidence to suggest that it (Sandalore) can stop or even reverse the effects of male and female pattern hair loss" "There is no scientific evidence that suggests this product will reduce ,inhibit or even block DHT from binding to the hair follicle receptor" 'Nuff said
  12. The wig reference in that clip is just a lighthearted joke and Macca's own natural hair has never been in doubt. He is however suffering from some thinning and his hair is not as lustrous as it used to be. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5072885/Paul-McCartney-displays-thinning-hair-London.html
  13. Only in the dry form..........brewed coffee has waaay more caffeine than brewed tea.
