Regular Member Ice Posted November 28, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Ok so has been thinning quite a bit but I started on Propecia a few months back. But when i pick at the part of my scalp that has thin hair there are very often little yellow balls on the end of the hair that I pulled out. Sometimes they're pretty big and easy to see. I suspect that it could be the sebaceous gland of that particular hair follicle that I just pulled out. I was just wondering if it really is the sebaceous gland and if it is, does that mean that the hair is dead and wont be able to grow back again?

Try using Nizoral shampoo once a week or every 5 days. It stopped me getting those. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ice Posted November 30, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 30, 2012 What if I can't get Nizoral? Can propecia be enough to stop it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted November 30, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2012 Why can't you get Nizoral? I just got some today, it's in quite a few shops.....and only 6 pounds too 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week. Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ice Posted November 30, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 30, 2012 Why can't you get Nizoral? I just got some today, it's in quite a few shops.....and only 6 pounds too Well, I don't think that it's sold in my country, but I'm not a hundred % sure. I just really wan't to avoid having to buy much more than just propecia but if it's not that expensive here and they do sell it, I will propably give it a try. But won't propecia be enough to stop it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted November 30, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2012 Ice, You may have some light shedding going on from the use of finasteride. Those yellow appearing bulbs may just be the hair roots at the end of the hair shafts. Nothing to be concerned about IMHO.

Senior Member gillenator Posted November 30, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2012 You should be able to purchase Nizoral online but I would recommend waiting to use it until the shedding from finasteride stabilizes.
