My doctor is too busy with people who have problems more serious than mine to keep bothering her about different treatments.

Puberty stimulates change in both the body and hair growth patterns. Common pattern changes include an increase in hair follicle activity and an overall darkening and/or thickening of the hair shaft. The diminished hormonal levels in a woman’s body following menopause and/or a hysterectomy can promote new hair growth on the face and body. Glandular disturbances originate in the endocrine system which is responsible for our physical development.

Shower after you swim and use a mild soap to remove pool chemicals. There are swimmer soaps that are supposed to remove pool chemicals from the skin, or you can use that swimmer shampoo as a body shampoo. You might find that using a exfoliant or scrub puff to remove scaly dead skin will take care of that "fishscale" appearance. Apply a mild lotion while the skin is still moist. Sitting around in a wet bathing suit can result in a rash.

Itchy is the mouse and Scratchy is the cat, I forget where I heard this, but a good way to remember is that you can use letters from "Scratchy" to spell "CAT"

For people with nasal allergies, these annoying symptoms happen when allergens like pollen, mold, dust mites, and animal dander enter the nose. That’s because your body mistakes allergens for dangerous invaders. When your body attacks these allergens, the nasal passages become inflamed. It is this inflammation that causes you to suffer with nasal allergy symptoms.

This type of allergy is called contact dermatitis. Jewelry often contains nickel. Wearing only jewelry of 18 carat gold may help. People with this type of contact dermatitis may also have difficulties with other items that contain metal, such as doorknobs, keys, metal snaps, buttons and zippers on clothing.

Yes, as long as you remember that your scalp should be exfoliated first just like the rest of you. If you have been shaving your head for some time, you are all set. If you just shaved your head for the first time twenty minutes ago, don't do it. Wait at least one day to avoid irritation of the hair follicles.

Most expert opinion is that eggs found more than 10-15 mm (1 to 1.5 cm) from the scalp are either hatched or dead. It is true that eggs are mostly laid close to the scalp - but this depends on the climate. When the ambient air temperature is close to (or exceeds) body heat, a female louse may lay eggs anywhere along the hair shaft, because the eggs will not depend on body heat to incubate.

With scalp treatment, the method of application is almost as important as which treatment you use. Applying the treatment involves parting the hair in sections and rubbing the treatment along the exposed area. It is best to do this in a sequential fashion, starting at the front of the scalp and working your way round. If the scale/plaques are very thick, once they have been moisturised with the treatment (especially Cocois) they can be gently lifted up using a comb.

I.L.H.T. does not believe in scalp reductions. There is extensive scientific research to indicate detrimental effects, such as the stretch back phenomenon. With this procedure there is an association of visible scarring. The procedure also lose its effectiveness within 12 weeks.

You are not using enough Cleanser/Conditioner! Experiment with the number of drops used to achieve the look you want.

Generally speaking nature has provided each with natural secretions of oil designed to lubricate the scalp and hair. However, textured, relaxed or color treated hair has a tendency toward dryness. In pursuit of control, textured is often relaxed or straightened with hand held blow dyers or styled using hooded dryers, followed by other thermal styling implements. The result is dry and brittle hair.

If you do not already use a shampoo for oily hair then switch to one - this will help remove the build-up of dead skin cells and oil that may be clogging your hair follicles and causing spots. It is also worth gently exfoliating your scalp once a week with a fine-grain hair scrub. Also using a tea-tree oil shampoo will help as this is a natural antibacterial agent.

No! Hair is a limited resource. It is used up regardless of how it is moved and scalp reductions are just another method of moving hair around. Scalp reductions move hair to the crown at the expense of the front of the scalp, the cosmetically more important area. As a result of the reduction, the hair in the sides and back of the scalp is reduced in both density and looseness (This is why the procedure is appropriately called a "reduction").

Although their mechanisms of action are different and although Propecia (finasteride) is far more effective than Rogaine (minoxidil) they both work on similar "targets." Both drugs work ONLY on miniaturized hair by increasing their diameter. Neither medication will work on areas that are totally bald i.e. that have no hair. Both work in any areas on the scalp that are subject to androgenetic changes i.e. the front top and crown.
