Question: I am a 28 year old male and have started seeing some balding on my crown - so the scalp is becoming visible. I have read about the both Strip method and FUE method of hair transplant. Is any one of them better suited for my crown balding? Or is it better to just try medication like Propecia and take action if balding continues to progress? Please advice. Thanks very much!

Answer: If this area just started to look clear then the patient would be interested to start using the Propecia (Finasderide) and to wait and evaluate the results of using the drugs later. This drug may slow down the balding process in this area.

After about one year it will be enough time to judge the effect of the drug. If it gets worse after a year then the patient may decide to have a second evaluation with his physician to include also the hair transplant procedure as an option.

Question: I am a 22 year old male and am rapidly losing hair from my crown. The hair loss has been intense in the last few months, and my scalp is becoming visible. I am trying to understand my treatment options. Is there a lower age limit for hair transplant surgery? Your answer will be very helpful Many Thanks!

Answer: While there is no age limit for hair transplant procedure, there are others limits and criteria to evaluate before deciding about a surgical option.

When the hair loss is in the crown area and the patient is young there are others medical alternatives options that may better benefit the patient for the long term. One option is taking Finasteride 1 mg with or without Minoxidil 5%.

Taking the above drug may stabilize your inherited baldness condition and may be better to wait few more years before deciding about the surgical option.

Question: I recently had a hair transplant surgery in a US clinic 4 weeks back. Strip method was used, and the transplant involved about 2000 grafts. The donor strip was taken from the back of my head. While the donor scar has healed on the ends, the middle part has not yet healed and is still wet. Is this part of normal healing, or could it an infection? Your suggestion will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer: The healing process in this type of injuries is faster in the edge of the scar then in the middle. The humidity is not necessarily a sign of infection. It is important to consult with your surgeon to verify the nature of this humidity.

If it is a matter of a liquid with transparent color and without smell, probably this is a matter of the exit of the content of a seroma that can appear in any injury. If itʼs bloody, then it might be a hematoma. If the liquid has a purulent aspect then it’s important to cultivate it and immediately treat the infection.

Fortunately infections in the scalp are extremely rare and are easy to treat. You should consult your surgeon that will evaluate your situation and will guide you about how to proceed. In most cases it might be a natural healing process, in rare cases it might be a local infection.
