Thinning Hair problem

hair loss

hi,

im new here, the reason why Im posting here is becoz of thinning hair too. Its gonna be a long post, pls bear with me. here just my simple story, i think is last year started, when i went cut my hair in one of the $10 shop the auntie suddenly told me, on top my head (crown area ) a losing hair and showed me too, i got no worry last time I used to have thick hair and hence tend to neglect to take care of it maybe, ask my friend or my family they say dont have, but i see it like have abit,

i was worry keep thinking so i end up going to yun nam to tell you the true IS NOT WORKING, i dont know maybe not for me, but i end up paying fewK around one year now, and now problem still have or worse, i noticed when i wake up i find around 10+maybe hair on my foor and another 10+ when shampooing my hair everyday, still the same and now dont know why sometime my (crown area)will be itch too, and my scalp can be seen when hair is wet, but still can cover, try few shampoo (like BA WANG), go polyclinic to c n referral me to NSC but on 31/MAY so long la, but i see other clinic too, DR say u dont have but give me propecia, i try one month+ now, like still the same,

just two weeks ago i went to the Eileen TAN Clinic too, saw my hair say that i scalp is abit redness like dandruff, give me some scalp lotion, and say i m male patten hair loss but very early stage and recommended me what moss cream say can help to maintnce like why u brush ur teeth everyday, and style ur hair, but only can give me when my redness is over, review next month

dont know what is what already, see here see there on the net, wait one say this, wait one say that, if not buy this buy that, money, money. very very sian..... already, BTW i m 29 this year

Many thanks for those who's reading and pls provide me some advise. I;ve been feeling stressed and down on this matter. MY hair used to be so thick

3. Try Nizoral (Guardian Pharmacy Drug counter)

Hi all,

I've been quietly following this thread for a while due to my receding hairline and minor thinning problem, and from the suggestions here, have been using Nioxin shampoo for the past 7-8 months, and taking Biotin supplements for the past 2-3 months. However, there seem to be no signs of improvement or even status quo, in fact, I feel that it's becoming worse as I can now easily see the front part of my scalp easily through my hair and styling it easily drops 10-15 strands.

I am now genuinely concerned and is wondering what else I can do to stop or at least slow down this process. Any advice appreciated, thanks.

maybe 5% too strong for you. use less?

Anyone here knows which doctor will prescribe dutasteride for hair loss?

 

[mAnsAnAs]

how much is minoxidil at guardian, is it outside the counters or you have to ask the salesperson?

 

[sinned_82]

try using minoxidil?

It is sold as Rogaine at pharmacies right? Do you think I should go straight and use it, or consult a doctor (Skin Centre/GP) first?

I have this thinning problem for quite a while, and would like to try Propecia. I did try before, purchase from NSC, but stopped after 3 months as it's too costly for me back then.

thinking of there is another alternative to get the pills? I'm wondering if any bro has purchase from online store before? If so, would you be kind to PM me the contact?

thanks alot.

hi, sorry to bump in.

is there minoxidil with lesser than 5% concentration?
or just need to dilute with normal water?
normal water here also have chlorine that might affect concentration.

thanks.

Can rogaine be found at all major pharmacy such as Watson or Guardian?

I understand the foam version is better...is there a generic brand i should look out for?

thanks

So did you try Svenson? How was the service? They cater for both men and women's hair loss problems so I think Kenneth27 ask you that because men and women have different hair loss patterns. I think for men , the first place to go is usually the top of the crown and sides of the forehead. Women is usually the hairline, if i am not wrong. But since everyone has a different cause of hairloss, that's why the specialists will still need to assess before prescribing the right treatment. You probably won't sprout an instant shock of hair, but you can start filling in those gaps.

Less, i think there's a 2% one.

thanks, cybernick, try again but less c how, ask u, u think i should go to the NSC?

u probably can go once to see what the doc says, but there's only 2 things he can prescribe: minoxidil or propecia

 

[cybernick]
