I live in savage,MD. Its between DC and Baltimore. The one thing that puzzles me is that this has been going on for a few years now, what could I be allergic to?

If I were you I would contact a Dr. Vogel in Baltimore, schedule a consultation as he should be able to help you out.

I did an online consultation for him, and someone from his office replied back saying that since im on propecia, thats the only thing they can do for me. Still I will try to schedule an appointment with Dr. Vogel. In the mean time, where can I pick up antihistamine tablets?

Antihistamine tablets are available over the counter in most pharmacies and supermarkets here in the UK.

Walmart, Costco or any pharmacy will sell them, they will only be a few dollars.

Hope they work out for you.

Thanks guys,I will try and buy it this week as well as schedule an appointment with Dr.vogel. Do you guys believe its possible that i will be able to regrow hair in that spot again?

 

[Bigmac]

Yes there is a good chance, if you find out what made you lose it, it may grow back naturally.

If its Mpb you will have to try the meds and see what happens.

Hopefully Dr Vogel will be able to help you out.

Would a antihistamine tablet be zyrtec?

 

[Bigmac]

Yes that is correct.

How is your scalp now.

 

[jdmmiata]

Oh ok, I wasnt sure if it was the right stuff so I havent tried it yet, it looked more like an allergy medicine. I guess thats what antihistamine is? My scalp doesn't seemed to have improved, I havent had time to get an appointment with dr.vogel yet. I'll start on the antihistamine tonight.

Yes you are correct, antihistamine is an allergy medicine.

Alright so I've been taking the zyrtec. Haven't seen much of a difference however. One detail that I forgot to mention is that every now and then ill get these little scab things on my scalp. Anyone know if these are directly related to hair loss?

 

[bullitnut]

With the scabs being mentioned I an now thinking it could be psoriasis flaking? You need to get it checked out dude

 

[jdmmiata]

I have an appointment with Dr.Vogel's office this thursday. I'm just hoping he takes everything else besides MPB into consideration.

 

[Bigmac]

Thats good, please let us know what he says.

good luck.

 

[bullitnut]

What did Dr Vogel have to say?

 

[terranelloyd]

Losing hair is a dreadful physical condition that most dread. If we can still use the word lucky, then women are luckier as you seldom see total baldness as compared to men.

 

[sonander]

Hair loss usually occurs in the fourth of fifth month following weight loss surgery. During the phase of rapid weight loss, caloric intake is marginal. This puts the body in a state of panic called starvation.

I've been suffering from the same symptoms for 6+ years now.
jdmmiata was the doctor able to help?
