Yes, I am losing hair in the itchy areas. I guess I will start using Nizoral. Can the hair loss caused by inflammation be reversed?

I am still experiencing scalp itch on month six of finasteride. I haven't read much about itchiness as a reported side effect, so I thought I would get a sampling from you guys.

I am shedding heavily, but I do seem to be growing some new hairs at the base of my hairline. They are probably ones I lost a while ago from recession.

I am thinking we should just stick it out. My shedding is worse than ever, but Im pretty sure that I am sprouting new hairs along my hairline. I didn't take any baseline pics for the same reason Tyler mentioned, but they are short and seem to be new. I will probably wait a month or two and take...

This is very confusing. There seems to be polar opposite schools of thought about this issue. My fear about Propecia worsening hairloss is not backed up by any hard science, only anecdotal reports from a handful of people on a forum. That makes it tough to justify stopping the drug. There...

I have noticed certain aspects of the shedding seem to follow the same symptoms of a dry scalp condition. The itching, yellowish-white dandruff and hair fallout that I am experiencing is a known propblem for people who aren't on Propecia. Is it possible that Propecia causes extremely dry scalp...

So, the acne could be an indicator that I am experiencing a hyperandrogenic reaction? That would be strange since my libido and erections are still only so-so. If I stopped treatment in the future, would the hair that was lost due to testosterone probably grow back? Since the hair that was shed...

Sorry, could you elaborate on this one? I am a little unclear on the bottom line. Thanks for your input.

I wish I didn't have to scour the internet for weeks to find out the true effects of this drug, but the information seems to very sketchy. No one seems to know anything for sure, so I can't dismiss anything I read without checking it out. When I read the propeciahelp forums, I can file most of...

I have seen a few doctors and none of them are very imformed on the drug. My dermatologist isn't aware of any shedding reported by Propecia users. As far as the dose goes, I have heard from many sources that DHT responds the same to any amount of finasteride from 0.2 mg to 5 mg. For some reason, cutting...

I thouroughly read the literature and understand the time frame for results. I was only commenting on the reports from certain posters who have claimed that they had accellerated hair loss through 1+ year of treatment when they had only started with mild thinning. I have also read a lot of...

Does no one have an opinion on this? I thought it would be a controvesial topic.

How does one know if they are one of the few who are having a bad reaction to Propecia? I have been taking it for two months and I am debating on whether or not I should quit. I have been battling side effects and accelerated hair loss and I am apprehensive about making my situation worse by...

Here is a thread that is particularly bothersome. http://www.hairlosshelp.com/forums/mess ... TMP=Linear

I am starting to get concerned about my shedding. I started Propecia less than 2 months ago with a full head of hair and mild thinning, and now my scalp is itchy and I have noticeably thinning hair caused by rapid shedding. I want to ride it out, but I am compelled to read the forums and can't...
