To Brenda and Elizabeth,
The products you can obtain from a dermatologist will generally be "stronger" than those you can obtain over the counter (particularly the women's over the counter products). Plus, some dermatologists may suggest that you be on more than one product (e.g., one to prevent further loss, another for new growth). Also, a dermatologist can make sure than you will not be given a product that might include hormones you should not have .
