Went to Dermatologist for the hair loss and...



Recommended Posts

I use the head and shoulders and then I use the Nioxin for conditioner (mainly because I LOVE the strong mint flavor and tingliness).

Okay, I already had an appointment with my dermatologist so I asked him about the hair loss. He said it is due to dermatitis, which is caused by stress (surgery, weight loss, etc.). He gave me two sample bottles of (1) Regular Head and Shoulders and (2) Head and Soulders intensive treatment (in a dark blue bottle). He said wash my hair every day, alternating the two and I should see a difference within a week. The important thing he said was to wash it EVERY day (which I don't normally do). So that's what the doctor said if anyone is interested, since it's all over the counter stuff.

Kaycee, a few questions for you. Did he tell you what's in the Head and Shoulders that makes it work? Are you seeing him again? And if you do, would you mind asking him what he thinks of the Nioxin stuff? Thanks!

Kacee:

What kind of store sells Nioxin? Is it an over-the-counter product, or by prescription?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

I think we are talking about apples and oranges here. Head and shoulders is a medicated Shampoo that attacks the dermatitis on the SKIN. The END result is the loss of hair, but there is nothing wrong with the hair itself. Nioxin stimulates the scalp and probably has products in it to fluff up the hair shaft, but it does not claim to address dermatitis of the scalp. I can see the two working hand in hand.

Hi there. I see you were banded 5 days before I was. HOW ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU EATING? ARE YOU FEELING LIKE YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD? I am very curious what others are experiencing. Have you been weighing yourself? I would love to "link up" with someone that has a date close to mine. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and yours.

Kacee - how is the hair loss for you now?

I've been using the head and shoulders since this post - so I guess just over a month. I'm not losing hair like I was; that's for sure. I don't know if it was just time for me to quit losing my hair or if it actually worked :)

I have tons of new growth at the hair line but not on the top of my head - kindof weird huh?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
