Bit of an update- been of of propecia for roughly a month. Head still itches but not nearly as bad as before. My eyelashes seem to fall out less as well. Hair roughly the same but a bit worse on the right side of my head. If I infact was going through a Telogen Effluvium it probably wouldn't start to thicken...

That makes perfect sense. From what I understand, correct me if I am wrong, Telogen Effluvium does not cause permanent damage. Any hair that was diffused or lost from Telogen Effluvium (not male pattern baldness) should grow back in time. But, hair that was lost from male pattern baldness is obviously going to be lost. My crown is well on its way. It’s odd I...

Irish- again thanks for the reply. I know I have male pattern baldness. It's in the family at the crown...lifes a b**ch. But, logically if I quit finasteride and my hormones go back to there base levels wouldnt the Telogen Effluvium stop? Or are you saying my scalp is now in a constant Telogen Effluvium state even if I quit finasteride. I know my crown will...

Thanks man, I actually want to quit drugs completely. minoxidil did the same thing to me. Am I stuck where I am? Or will this grow back normally? Except my crown I know that's f'd. Or has the propecia sped my hairloss up by years you think?

Think these pictures will depict my current situation well. Thanks for the responses guys.

Ok, do you think it would be beneficial then to lower the dosageto .50?

Will do. I will quit the drug and make an appointment. Thank you for all your help. If anyone has gone through Telogen Effluvium and could give me some insight on how Telogen Effluvium typically ends or how to stop it I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks for the information. In theory though, if propecia is the cause which I am sure it is because once I started it the blotches came all over. Would stopping propecia stop the Telogen Effluvium? I know it won't happen over night because I am sure the stuff is in my system for awhile before it dies down...

Thanks! I am going to drop propecia. With Telogen Effluvium does dropping the cause, this case propecia, stop the Telogen Effluvium or once it has started I basically am f'd? I would like to grow what I lost back if I can. 24 and slick bald will suck but then again there are worse things.

Finfighter,        Thank you for the response! I actually have been loosing hair on the sides and back. My hair is becoming more and more blotchy in the back compared to where it was a year ago. I have a quarter sized light hair blotch on each side on my head. My brothers didn’t have...

Thank you for the response! It might take me a few days to post pics since I don't have a laptop...only the iPhone so I can't post pics till I get to a computer. It's odd that my hair rapidly started diffussing. I am a pretty manly guy I would say. I am hairy, lift weights regularly etc. Maybe...

Also I am 24 years old.

Hello All, I think I may be going through Telogen Effluvium with Propecia. I have been on it for a little over 5 months and I am loosing hair fast throughout my whole scalp. It looks as if I am getting a horse shoe pattern diffuse mpd which wasn't present when I started the drug. (None of my brothers or...

Thank you for the response! Well, my father has zero leg hair…and my oldest brother (32 years old) is in the same boat. If it’s not normal MPB…don’t know what it could be. My thyroid is fine…brother has the same thing and he is in good health. My dad is in his 60’s and he too is in...

Hello,       I am a 24 year old finasteride. user (Propecia) and have been on it for 5 months exactly. I take 1mg daily and I use Nizoral 2% three times per week. I am diffusing in the crown heavily and now the mid scalp. I have run into a bit of a snag with my Propecia. I am experiencing some...
