    Newbie with hair loss and low testosterone needs advice

    DoctorHouse, thank you for your kind compliment! I actually haven't posted in hair loss forums under any other usernames, but I have lurked quite a bit. Your advice and positivity on this forum have helped me get through my own rough patches, even though I rarely post here. I'm 23 and while...

    25 y/o - My progress 5 mo on Topical Propecia

    I have been taking proscar (generic finasteride) and minoxidil for nearly 9 months. I've never tried or heard of topical propecia -- most doctors here in the US will give patients pills instead -- so I can't vouch for its efficacy as a treatment option. At the 5 month mark, it is still too...

    Newbie with hair loss and low testosterone needs advice

    Wow, you've been receding since age 24? Your hair loss appears to be progressing very slowly, so that's a huge positive. In some of your pictures I do see some shorter, thinner hairs at the hairline, especially at the temple points (sides), which would suggest your hairline is moving further...

    24 years old starting finasteride - my story

    Guy who has been following the Big 3 regimen for almost 9 months, checking in here. I never read propeciahelp before starting finasteride and haven't noticed any side effects from the medication I've taken so far. Didn't measure my penis or anything really, but I'm sure what's going on down there...

    Am I Going Bald?

    Sorry if my post came across that way! I had no intention of freaking anyone out, as evidenced by my second to last sentence. From the photos I also don't think duggys is losing his hair. But I do believe that if he is concerned about the possibility of future hair loss, it probably couldn't...

    Am I Going Bald?

    First, welcome to the forum and thanks for attaching the photos, they help illustrate what is going on. Are any of your direct relatives either bald or balding? If so, when did they start to lose their hair? How is your hairline? From the pictures you posted I don't see that there is much to...

    Joey's story

    Excellent work -- your patience and dedication earned you a full head of hair. Hope you keep what you have now for a long time. When did you really start noticing improvements? Last February? Does your scalp still itch, and if not, when did that stop? Also hoping I get similar results. My...

    Opinions on my crown, please!

    First things first. This may sound like very obvious advice to you, but sometimes you need someone else to tell you if you want to stop a bad habit: you really must stop plucking your eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair anywhere else. Hair you pluck repeatedly will eventually stop growing properly...

    nizoral shortage? again?

    The only other OTC 1% keto shampoo I know some people like is Revita. I haven't tried it though. It's also more expensive than Nizoral, but maybe not as costly as Regenepure (at least on Amazon, I don't know about its price at drug stores). The only major difference between Nizoral and these...

    ivoo's story (35 years old) - just starting on finasteride

    The lighting and hair lengths are different than in your first set of pictures, but it seems like you've got some thickening happening in the temples, midscalp, and crown regions. This is looking very promising. Keep up your good work and your patience. I bet you'll continue to see...

    nizoral shortage? again?

    I live on the east coast and I can honestly say I've never seen a bottle of Nizoral on store shelves here. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. I know the feeling of looking for rare products, though -- it's like hunting down Bigfoot lol. You could always buy nizoral online. It's apparently...

    Is Diabetes Associated with Hair Loss?

    Although my user name* may seem to suggest that I am somehow sick, I don't have any real chronic health conditions. However, my grandfather had Type II diabetes beginning in his late thirties. His hair loss started around that time in his life. It may have been a coincidence, but I believe...

    "A" factor?

    Yeah, I've been a vegetarian for nearly six years now, but I started going bald two years ago (only noticed it a year ago).

    so is thickening face hair a bad sign?

    I don't think thickening facial hair is necessarily a bad sign. Plenty of men don't go bald, yet are able to grow thick beards by their mid to late twenties. My brother has an amazing head of hair -- a very thick bush of a Norwood 1 at the age of 26 -- that is now accompanied by a fairly thick...
