A member asked:
I'm 17, lost most of my hair. asking if blocking dht and using a hair growth treatment with exercise and healthy eating will help + buying a lasercomb?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair Loss: You need to be worked up to make sure nothing metabolic is going on. If everything is ok, then you can do rogaine, (minoxidil) propecia, and even Ketoconazole 2% shampoo to try to help. I would skip the laser comb. Google the laser hair messiah, it's not much more $ and is a much better product.
