I suppose I'll just stick with it. I hate having to use all of these things (now minoxidil, saw palmetto, tretinoin) just to keep my hair on my head when almost everyone else my age is carefree. I think if I never started to worry about a receding hairline, I would not be in this predicament...
I am 18, a freshman in college. I was upset about a receding hairline a year ago. If I knew that one year later I'd had diffuse thinning on my crown, I would never have started finasteride. I am afraid to stop using it since the condition might just get a whole lot worse. I don't know how to...
No problems before. I stopped because it was too expensive and thought I'd try shampoos and such. I only had a receding hairline without much loss in density.
I starting using finasteride one year ago and then stopped temporarily in May. Since then, I have experienced massive shedding from my crown. Is it likely that I have hyperandrogenicity now and that stopping finasteride would stop this reaction?
I recently read on here that Tretinoin (Retin-A) is a hair growth stimulant. I have two tubes of 0.1% Retin-A left over from my past wars with acne, and I want to start using it on my scalp. I also think I should get minoxidil because finasteride has practically decimated my scalp. My...
I am only 18. I had a slight receding hairline, I panicked, and began using Propecia one year ago. It worked well, but I didn't know that you have to take it for life for it to be effective. After I stopped using it for a week last May, shedding began. I started to use Propecia and have been...
Are they thin and vellus-like at first, and then darken and thicken?
Or do they come in dark and thick from the start?
I see a lot of small, light-colored hairs coming in along my hairline. I hope they're going to grow longer and darker. However, if they're genuine vellus hairs, then...
I started to use Propecia almost one year ago. I stopped for a couple weeks in May, began to shed, and immediately began using it again. Since May, I have been shedding nonstop from only the top of my head. It now seems like the hairs are getting progressively thinner as they fall out.
Might...
