Hi, my name is Theyong. I’m heavily into music and I am a lead guitarist in a band. I started loosing my hairs at point of time when I was shaping my career. Even I made a tattoo in the bald area to hide it. I used to play music, I stopped doing that was well because of what people might think of my appearance being on stage. Because I was lead guitarist. I was at the front as well. So at the time it was all about image. When you think about it it’s actually mental. But that’s how you are. I wouldn’t say I was depressed but yeah I was in a kind of same same league as being depressed. You start avoiding social gatherings and your confidence downfall. Then through a thorough search on internet I came to know about Dermaclinix. When I went through the website I realized that Doctors at dermaclinix are not only well qualified but they have vast experience in hair transplantation. After communication with the clinic I met with Dr. Amrendra kumar. He counseled me very well, answers all my queries and explained the procedure in a very detailed manner. Many a times you get confused when you go through the things on internet, like whether you should go for the FUE method or FUT method. Which method will be better? what are the pros and cons of different methods? Does the result depend on the surgical method? What should be the plan of treatment in my case? What are the factors on which results depend and not only this but rather how the result should look very natural and dense as well. Dr. Amrendra answered all of my questions which increased my confidence to go for the hair transplantation. Dr. Amrendra is not only have very cool and calm gesture but he is also very friendly to his patients. Not for a single moment I felt uncomfortable in asking any queries. After consultation with him I decided to go for the hair transplant. But even after this I was little bit scared about the surgery and couldn’t sleep well before night of the surgery. With little anxiety I arrived at Dermaclinix. And once you get in the building, even the reception staff, they treat you like family. It feels very homely. It’s a very calming place to be. It’s so relaxing. Even when they are talking to you. You can have a laugh and a joke when they are doing the procedure as well. It’s amazing really. The hardest part of the actual day is when I got home after the operation, and I was thinking about the pain after effect anesthesia effect wean off. But surprisingly pain was not the issue at all. There was swelling on the forehead but subsided in 2 days. There was little itching when the implanted hairs dried up otherwise the procedure was almost painless (except the part where you get anesthesia you may feel little pinch sensation). The whole procedure was done in multiple small sessions so that you never get tired. After about two weeks the transplanted hairs started falling out again. So you get a little bit disheartened at first. But then you know it’s going to grow back. But then after a couple of months it starts growing back really really well, and then your confidence starts really. This is basically the best and probably the most exciting decision I have ever made in my life. It’s has completely changed it. I’d really, it’d recommend this to anyone who can go forward with it and get it done and do it. It will completely change your life. It really will.
minoxidil does not causes or aggravate seborrheic dermatitis. How ever most of the minoxidil formulations are available as alcoholic solution so while application of minoxidil alcohol evaporates leaving behind fine white precipitate. May be these precipitate mistaken as seborrheic dermatitis. you can change the formulation to nonalcoholic one. But if you have seborrheic dermatitis better use an antifungal shampoo.
There is very small risk of melanoma from a common melnaocytic nevus but if a mole rapidly increases in size, changes colour, having asymmetric borders, bleeding or ulceration then it is better to consult a dermatologist. Removal of mole is an easy procedure.
yes, it is quite possible that you get baldness in the vertex/ crown area first then progressed to hair line.treatment depends on the stage of the baldness and existing hair conditions. medical treatment with PRP, minoxidil, finesteride is advised if good numbers of hairs still present in the bald area as these medicines can improve only existing hair roots, once the root is disappeared no medicine can bring it back. As such age is no bar regarding safety of hair transplantation but hair transplantation in young patient specially in vertex area should be avoided because of progression of the baldness/pattern maturation is still going on. But if baldness is in a large area you can go for the hair transplantation, preferably FUE method so that you can use body hairs (beard and body hairs) with scalp hairs as well to cover the vertex. Advantage of this approach is that scalp hairs will be used only in minimum quantity. So enough scalp hairs will be left in the donor area for the future hair transplantation if progressed in the frontal area as in frontal area scalp hairs gives better cosmetic appearance while in vertex the mixed beard area hairs are also cosmetically acceptable.
Shaving hairs before laser hair removal is a must, by not doing so you will get burned.laser energy is absorbed by melanocytes (black pigmentation). If dark hairs already present on surface they will absorb the energy n hearted up causing burn. Not only hairs rather even a dark mole should be covered properly before LHR.
It is more looking like an irritated mole. Chances of conversion in to melanoma, of a common melanocytic nevus is very low (2.5%). However if a mole is asymmetrical with irregular border, colour variegation, diameter >6mm, ulceration and bleeding then you should take an opinion of a dermatologist as soon as possible.
