Q: I use Nizoral for my dandruff. Does it work for hair loss too? -- M.D., Danbury, CT A: The active ingredient in Nizoral is Ketoconazole. This medication, originally developed to treat fungus infections, has slight anti-androgen action. It is supposed to work in hair loss by inhibiting the action of DHT on hair follicles. Although, in theory, it should be useful for androgenetic hair loss, there have not been conclusive scientific studies to show that it works to treat balding when used as a topical application for balding.
Q: What is Saw Palmetto? -- R.P., White Plains, NY A: Saw Palmetto is a dwarf palm plant native to North America. The active ingredients can be found in the plant's brown-black berries. It is proposed that it blocks the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). There is little scientific evidence that Saw Palmetto is actually effective for hair loss. Read about the treatment of hair loss in men

Q: What is your opinion of the companies that advertise hair loss solutions like Hims and Keeps? In searching the web and riding the subway I’ve seen many ads for a company called Hims that offers hair loss medicine and other medical solutions for men’s problems. What are the medications used for hair loss and how do they compare to Propecia and Rogaine? ? -- V.T., Long Island, NY A: Hims and Keeps are digital wellness companies that are geared toward men. They prescribe the same hair loss products that you can receive from a doctor or from online stores like Amazon, such as minoxidil, finasteride, biotin, salicylic acid shampoos and other topical and oral medications. The patents on the most commonly used prescription medications have expired within the last few years, opening the door for companies to distribute their own generic versions. The online system that Hims uses allows people to get prescriptions without seeing a doctor. Although this might be convenient, receiving an in-person evaluation from an experienced physician is important to ensure that you receive the proper treatment. Medical treatments for hair loss are most effective when started early. Therefore, making sure the diagnosis is correct and…

Q: I am twenty and think that I am starting to thin. I am also experiencing a slight tingling in my scalp. Are these related? -- T.N., Philadelphia, PA A: Most likely. Early androgenetic alopecia can be associated with a slight tingling or slight tenderness of the scalp. You should see a dermatologist for evaluation and, if you have early male pattern baldness, consider starting finasteride (Propecia).
