"Got Hair?" Keep the Hair You Have & Then Some!

It is always practical in situations of hair loss, to see a reputable dermatologist to get a good assessment of your scalp, and the condition that it is in.  There is for some, a simple solution to what can be causing the loss of hair that you might not have been aware of.  "Overgrowth of yeast,"  I know it doesn't sound very pleasant, but truly nice to know that if that is what the cause of the hair thinning or loss is due to, then you are in far better shape than someone else that may require a bit more work with "lotions and potions." 

If you don't wish to see a dermatologist and just want to get on with it already! Here are some of the non-medical solutions you could try and the reasons behind them:

• NIZORAL SHAMPOO: KETOCONAZOLE (kee toe KON na zole) is an antifungal medicine. It is used to treat fungal/yeast type infections.  Non-prescription shampoo, over-the-counter product.  Pub Med has proven studies of it's efficacy in use: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15863844
• HEAD & SHOULDERS Shampoo, another over-the-counter non-prescription shampoo that fights dandruff (a sign of fungus/yeast presence).
• Scalpicin~ This treatment is a 1% hydrocortisone cream that you could use as directed on the package if you have an inflammatory condition from the yeast overgrowth, in addition to the shampoo treatment noted above.  ( I wouldn't use it for more than the recommended time noted on the bottle.)  Due to the fact it is an cortisone medication per se, and long term use is not good in case it should build up into your system.
• SHAMPOOS with SALICYLIC ACID 2% or 3 % are very good in my opinion, as the SA is lipophillic, just like the yeast...meaning that they love fat from the oils that are secreted from the glands in the scalp.  SA penetrates this barrier, and acts as an antimicrobial and antifungal, ridding the scalp and pores of the infectious agent with repeated use.  You just have to watch that you don't have a sensitivity to *ASPIRIN PRODUCTS*  As Salicylic Acid is a derivative of the Willow Bark, and can cause a reaction in those with aspirin allergies.

As with any treatment plan, it is always advisable to check with your physician.  I am not replacing the advice of any medical professional.  I am only offerring some solutions to those that may not be aware of them.

One more thing:  Prescription Medications that Doctors sometimes order for their male patients, "Proscar a.k.a. "Propecia" "Dutasteride" these medications have a lot of side-effects!  There is a natural Herb that produces the same results called "Saw Palmetto." Over-the-Counter.

Also, make sure you get a baseline Vitamin D level drawn!  As being at a therapeutic level in your Vitamin D will strengthen all your cells and enable your other vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals to their work efficiently.

Thanks for visiting my blog, and wishing you all a Great Hair Day!
