Mole, Mole, Mole!

Ever since I saw that Austin Powers movie with Dr. Evil’s son and his very obvious mole, I find myself repeating the scene in my head and laughing alone. Weird, I know. But funny, even so. Setting all dumb jokes aside, moles are actually serious business.

Eating Disorders in Men

In the US alone, around one million boys and men suffer from an eating disorder. When compared to the percentages of eating disorders in women, the number of men’s female counterparts multiplies significantly; nevertheless, eating disorders in men continue to be a silent and many times misdiagnosed or overlooked condition.

The victim of the disorder is completely unaware of the hand’s action. While the example above may be extreme, people who suffer from AHS have exhibited similar symptoms in certain cases. Read more

Follicular Hair Transplants

Hair loss treatments have truly evolved in the past few years. The options people had a couple of years back do not compare to the improvements these techniques now bring to the table. The early days of hair transplants were certainly pushing the envelope in dealing with a “condition” most men feared and didn’t know who to turn to to solve it. As revolutionary as initial attempts of hair transplant were, results weren’t as natural as desired.

Male Breast Cancer

Highly overlooked or completely unknown, most people don’t realize men too can develop breast cancer. Though the chances of a man getting breast cancer are slim compared to those in women, male bodies have breast cells that can turn cancerous.
