I’ve been following your thread closely over the last few months as I also consider myself to be in the camp of 40 somethings that had a strong baseline but experienced a rapid decline over a seemingly short period. I appreciate you sharing the advice and treatment options you’ve gotten from...

My advice as a long time big 3 user 1 - stay consistent with rogaine application AM and PM. Actually, just stay consistent period. Changing up routines constantly is rarely beneficial. Pick a regimen and give a reasonable amount of time to evaluate it 2 - if you have scalp conditions, ie...

My regimen has always been minoxidil in the AM and PM and Finasteride PM. I’ve played with the finasteride dosages a bit, 1mg daily and the occasional 2.5 mg dose (I have a proscar 5mg script and one for generic 1mg Finasteride) I noticed some very thin spots in the middle of my scalp in April ‘18...

At 39, I’m in the same boat. Using both minoxidil and rogaine for 15+ years now. Was able to maintain my hair throughout with minimum side effects, the occasional ball ache was common but nothing too bad Over the last year, my shedding has been pretty much non stop. Unlike OP, I am also...

Back with an update. Went through a pretty massive shed and a bout with seborrhic dermatitis. Took a hit in the density department as a result In the last couple of days I switched from generic 5mg Finasteride to Merck proscar. Noticed the generic I was getting from CVS is from India now...

Just an example of how different my hair can look when styled versus oily/unshowered This is just after Rogaine foam, blow dryer, and some pomade

Thank you for the replies. I am shedding a ton of tiny miniaturized hairs that look almost invisible so I know it’s starting to progress quickly now. Also, when my hair is wet out of the shower the pattern is painfully obvious. Part of me wants to seek additional treatments to try and keep what...

Thanks Andy, appreciate the reply. I was thinking about that but I have met with Dr Arocha and Dr Lam here in DFW and they have advised me against it. I have fought my way through some minor sides with finasteride, testicle pain etc. Def not ruling it out though, esp is this massive shed continues

Hey guys. First time posting I’m almost 39, been using Finasteride and Rogaine for 10 years plus. Thought I was in the clear as I had maintained a pretty decent head of hair during that time but it seems genetics have doubled down over the last year. A ton of diffuse thinning in the middle of...
