Hair Treatments

Dr. Schultz, I’ve been reading about how Ketoconazole can also regrow hair. Can you give any input on that? Thanks.

@vancityguy: Ketoconazole shampoo is helpful for treating dandruff. Dandruff accelerates hair loss so treating your dandruff may slow your hair loss, but will not cause hair to grow.

hello Dr.Schultz : ) I would like to ask you something: I wash my hair and dry it everyday at night and my friend told me that by making that I’m not allowing my hair to dry and that makes it rotten inside and that cause hair loss, is that true?

@hisschoolblowup: Absolutely not. Hair loss is only determined by the genetic susceptibility of the hair follicle to the chemical dihydrotestosterone. Hair is not damaged by moisture.

Would you recommend Propecia over Rogaine?

What about hair loss for women?I’m taking vitamins..

@MyHeavenlySunset I’ll be covering that topic in another episode. Stay tuned! However, regarding vitamins, you should watch the episode entitled, “Vitamins for Your Hair and Nails.” While YouTube doesn’t allow me to post links in comments, if you search for the title it should be the first result.

Dr…what is the beauty product that good for Pregnant woman? thank you

@philest25 I actually aired an episode on just that topic a month or two ago. While I can’t insert a link into YouTube comments, if you search for, “What Skincare Products Are Safe During Pregnancy,” (DermTV Episode #60) you should be able to find it. You can also find it on the DermTV website.

Great info! )
