Hi Dr. Kate! What are the best shampoos & conditioners to use?

[danielvitolo]

My wife went to a dermatologist and the dermatologist took a photo with an iPad, came back four minutes later and said you have Andrew genetic alopecia, just bad luck, she said. No test nothing.

My wife is going crazy thinking about it, and she is upset because no one in her family has it. No women at all. She went to her regular doctor, and got a testosterone blood test. We will have the results tomorrow. wandering what we should do next, and if you think that diagnosis was too quick.

i’ve never seen her so depressed. Is there anyway she could talk to you over the phone for five minutes? Please let me know. if not, I’ll do my best to try and let her know what you said.

She also did a thyroid test last year, and a thyroid sonogram just now with the testosterone test. Thyroid was normal last year with the blood test, but there is a nodule, most likely benign, they said.

They also told her to go get the biopsy for her her head . I don’t know what to do anymore. Very, very lost here to help her.

Hi. Do you think saw palmetto is safe to take long term? When I look it up, it seems like it’s safe to take for up to three years, which isn’t great. Also, do you think there is a good topical product that works to decrease the effects of DHT on the scalp?

Hi Dr. Kate,
thank you for the video! Do you have any information or video about how Hashimoto connects with Androgenic Alopecia?

[debbielanning]

Hi Dr. Kate, thank you for your video. I just had a serum ferritin test measured 104 ng/mL (Iron is 78 ug/dL). I'm not sure how the ng/mL translates to ug/L. Can you help me with this so I can know if my ferritin is ok? Thank you! I want to do your Deep Dive, just saving up the $ 🙂

I am a 70-year-old female and have androgenic alopecia according to the dermatologist. He looked at my hair/scalp with something that he hand held, and said that I have androgenic alopecia. Does your video info apply to my age group? Thanks!

[TamannaAgarwala]

Does ferritin deficiency causes hair miniaturisation? Please doctor 😢
