11 month update

[Guest]

I have bin on finasteride now for 11 months and I must admit I am not overly happy with the results. I am not blaming finasteride but not sure it has helped and I know the shedding it caused was bad and a lot of it.

My hair has thinned badly and I mean each hair strand, the over all density of my hair has also really gotten worse. The line that goes from my hair line to the back of my head has gotten bigger as you can see from my pics, and I now have parts all over my hair do the thinning all over my head. And my crown is now starting to thin out the hole in the crown is getting bigger, it is hard to tell from my pics but in real life its getting much easier to spot, especially when wet or under bright lights. My hair line is all but gone it is so thin I hate it.

I am going to start minoxidil this week to see if it will help thicken my hair and density back up. At this point I am considering dropping finasteride as I am not sure it is helping and why take it if it is not?
This is the worst my hair has looked yet.

My hair loss patter seems to be odd and in a different pattern then most the stuff I see it has also happened much faster then I expected. It has been less then one year and the change is drastic. So much loss in so little time i even had to change my hair style do to hair loss.

yeah, stay on finasteride or else you will probably go thru another big shed and add Xandrox, nizoral 2% and maybe even spironolactone or the Lasercomb if you want to go for complete regrowth,. If you do this you will most likely be in great shape 1 year from now, patience is the harder part, the products do work.

Every time I click on pics I hope to see someone with actual hairloss...I really see very little wrong with your hair, if anything at all. The problem is if you are worrying this much now, you are going to be a nervous wreck when you are actually losing your hair properly!

^ I notice the same thing.

There are a lot of super-vein people around here though..

Lots of paranoia too.

I wish that was so, I have gone and see some of the best dermatologist in town and both said the same thing I have early diffuse thinning. I am not worrying that much just trying to decided what to do, My first experience with minoxidil was not very good but I was not using it right so.

I really think the worst is do to all the shedding in the last 11 months.

for real..youre supposed to be BALDING?? What results are you looking for? I think you should enjoy life and try this medication when youre actually losing your hair. Best of luck though.

Diffuse thinning = hair loss = balding

If I don’t do something to stop it I will get to the last part much faster
