Zach Galifianakis Shaves His Hair Into Mohawk On Saturday Night Light. Or Did He?

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

Hangover star Zach Galifianakis shaves his hair into a mohawk on Saturday Night Live

Zach Galifianakis is zany, wild and crazy.  The funnyman will stop at nothing in order to get a laugh.   The Hangover star freaked out the live audience on Saturday Night Live when he shaved his own head to entertain them during the show.

Unlike Justin Bieber, who pretended to shave his head on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, this time it appeared Zach really shaved his head.   Galifianakis quipped: “Thanks a lot everybody, but unfortunately we did not get to the Mr T sketch.  A real bummer, if you ask me.”

But did he really shave his head?  If you look close it appears Zach might have been wearing a bald cap which he shaved.  It certainly looks like the read deal.

Galifianakis certainly wouldn’t hurt his image if he did actually shave his head because he is so popular right now he can do no wrong.  (more…)

Prescription & OTC Drugs May Cause Hair Loss & Dangerous Reactions During Sun Exposure

Friday, March 11th, 2011

As Spring turns into Summer there are dangers which some people are not aware of.  Experts say that some prescription medications can be dangerous when exposed to sunlight.

As many as 100 different prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs can become dangerous when exposed to the rays of the sun.

Millions of Americans are currently taking medications for acne, diabetes, cancer, infections, depression and many other types of sickness or disease risk reactions including dizziness, rashes, itching and blisters in exposed areas of the skin.

In some rare cases the reactions can cause hair loss, skin peeling and even fingernail loss.

Sun Sensitivity

Even various sunscreens (those containing PABA – para-aminobenzoic acid) which are supposed to protect you from the sun – can actually make you more sensitive to the rays.

Approximately 3 percent of people are sun-sensitive to various drugs, according to Dr. Robert Jordan, a renowned dermatologist.

One of the most severe reactions may be triggered by antibiotics like Tetracycline or in a similar drug family.  It can make fingers swell up if the person goes out in the sun.  Fingernails can become so loose that they fall off, according to the late Dr. Alexander Fisher, a prominent clinical dermatologist.

Know Your Drugs And Act Accordingly

If your drugs are known to cause reactions either arrange with your physician to take an alternative formulation if you’re going to be in the sun.  Also, cover up and avoid the sun as much as possible.  Finally be aware of possible side effects so you can respond appropriately.

When A Reaction Occurs Immediately Check With Your Physician

Experts advise, if you have an usual reaction from the sun after taking any type of mediation – prescription or other – you should immediately check with your doctor for a possible change in treatment.

Listed below are some of the drugs which may potentially trigger a reaction in some people after they’re exposed to sunlight.  Keep in mind that not all of the drugs below will cause a reaction in everyone who takes them.  Also consider that there are other drugs which are not listed which may also cause a variety of sun related reactions.
