Another update. Snapped some pictures of the back of my head and... ugh. I saw this and my heart sank. I haven't gotten my hair cut since the last pictures, and now there's MORE scalp showing? it's only been a month since then! It's not quite as bad as it looks there I guess, since it's kind of...

Back again. Welp, My gyno's gotten aggravated again. It may be that once a day finasteride is just too much for me. I'm decreasing the dose of finasteride (though not to quite as low as it was before) and hoping the nizoral and the extra rogaine are enough to maintain. I haven't lost any more hair in the past...

A little. Not to an incredible degree, but I'd say it itches more then the rest of my head, especially when the rogaine goes on.

Bump? Anyone? ...Bueller?

Well, I can't really pull my hair back because it's too short... but I tried to make it stand up the best I could to show a similar view: Thing is, I think I'm better off in the front compared to when I started, but when I visited my dermatologist last year he said my crown was "normal", and...

Back from the dead! So I've been keeping up the regimen for two years now, although for a few months I fell off the finasteride wagon. Back on it now though. The lump in my chest was diagnosed as gynecomastia, but it never got any worse. Since I never checked it before I started finasteride, the...

Welp, just went in for a haircut today, and I asked the hairdresser if it looked like my hair was getting thin in the back. ....she said yes. This essentially means I'm right back where I started two years ago. This is UNBELIEVABLY frustrating, since I had such good results my first year on...

Hello, all. So I've been on Finasteride 1.25 mg every 2 or 3 days and minoxidil 5% once a day for about two years now, and it's worked wonders. I started with a more rigorous regimen at the beginning, but as time went on, lessened it both for cost reasons... and, well, being lazy, really. So it's...

Well, I went to a specialist, and ding ding ding it's gynecomastia. Now, I don't know if it started before finasteride or after, since this isn't the kind of thing I would check for before. BUT, to be on the safe side I'm considering stopping finasteride. Here's my question: If I stop finasteride (which I...

Hello again! I have good news and bad news. The good news is, I have regrowth! http://i.imgur.com/D1CKJ.jpg The bad news is... uh... finasteride might be giving me manboobs. Or... one manboob. I went to a specialist recently after having noticed a lump under my right nipple, and ding ding ding...

I'd like to know about this too. I started finasteride about 6 weeks ago and have noticed a lump in my right chest under the nipple- the thing is, my right nipple has always been more swollen and puffy than the left, and doesn't seem to look appreciably different now. I think there's a possibility...

Hi, all. Slight update: My paranoia and the incredible, almost excessively effective effect that the Rogaine has had on my hair has caused me to back down to once a day for the time being. BUT, I *think* that the "side effects" I'm feeling are most likely not from it. I've checked my blood...

I went from about 30-40 hairs shed in the shower to closer to 100.

Hi, everyone. I'm a 24 year old guy who's probably been balding for a couple of years, but it took me until a few months ago to really notice. I had a "mature" hairline pretty early- probably around 15/16. It didn't get any worse for years, so I wrote it off as just how I got made, so to...
