WTF!!? I'm 19. I started losing the hair on top of my head exactly 2 years ago. I didn't do anything about it until 6 months ago, when I tried proscar/4 everyday. I quit after 3.5 months when I noticed I had developed very noticable puffiness in my nipples. I finally fully accepted male pattern baldness and...

gyno

Yes, I've lost a lot of hair on my sides and back. There isn't much inflammation anymore. I can't even pull off a guard 0.5 now anymore. It's been a year and 10 months since I started losing, and I'm pretty much reaching the end of the norwood scale, that is if the sides and back don't...

Here we go, the crown is almost bald now, and quite noticable with a number 1 buzz. It's a matter of days/weeks for it to be slick. finasteride gives me sides, and rogaine that I'm using right now is probably not enough for my extremely aggressive male pattern baldness. I can't even get a few f*****g months of hair it's...

After 3 months and 3 weeks on proscar/4, I had to quit due to the gyno side effect. So what happens now? I'm going to be giving rogaine foam a try, but that doesn't stop hair loss. Is there anything else? what are my options? PS. would the puffy nipples go away now that I've quit? I first...

I seem to be suddenly heading for Norwood 5A, been losing for a year and 7 months. I'm not looking for sympathy or advice. I was just wondering if there's anyone else who's had it this rapid/agressive. - CCS, hatprisoner, and UM need not reply. - Don't ask for pictures. I don't care if you...

I don't know the answer myself, but everything that you said with the exception of blonde hair is happening to me, now entering my 4th month of fin1.25mg+nizoral%2. More eyebrow and eyelash shed + thinning everywhere on the scalp including the front (sideburn area), back, and top of the ears + lots...

I'm 19, been losing for the past year and 9 months. I'm entering my 12th week on Nizoral/Proscar(divided in 4) and rapidly balding. In these 3 months, I went from a diffuse Norwood 2.5 to an extremely diffused Norwood 3. I've heard people say that you have to give it a full year, but at this rate I'll be...

I occasionally get a bunch of these on my scalp. They're pretty much like zits and I have them on my face as well as the side of my shoulders and upper arms. But the ones on scalp are always accompanied with a strand of hair when I take them out:(. I use Nizoral 2% every 2 days, and T-Gel extra...

yes it's normal. My shed started 5 days into it, or at least I noticed it after 5 days. I shed 400-500 for 6 weeks, and it seems to have slowed down now.

I've been on finasteride 1.25mg for 6 weeks now, along side Nizoral 2% 2-3 times a week. But I get huggggeeee sheds when using Nizoral. When I use T-Gel Coal Tar shampoo I get minimum to no shedding. So how neccessary is Nizoral use with finasteride? Mods please don't move this to the shedding...

anyone? this shedding sub-forum is really slow all the time.

Is it normal to shed facial hair on finasteride? I'm almost 6 weeks into finasteride 1.25mg and I've noticed my beard and mustache thinning out. I now have quite a few completely bald tiny patches. I'm sure I'm not just imagining things. The shedding/thinning pattern is the same as what's happened to my head...

people would rather have a child suffer just to have hair?

Because 17-18 year old kids don't even know that it's possible to go bald at such a young age. They would think it's just temporary due to their diet or cheap shampoo or whatever.
