Fine on sleeping. Can anyone weigh in on these new pics. WTF. 6 months topical Dutasteride + oral minoxidil, 4 months RU. Shower is easy 700 hairs. I could literally pull out ever hair on my head in an hour.
can anyone weigh in on the back and sides compared to the top. Derm said ‘almost no gradation but the front is clearly getting fucked)

Looks like you have retrograde alopecia. Definitely diffuse thinning..I'm surprised you haven't buzzed your head yet. It's been what 2-3 years. That long hair isn't doing you any good.

What’s a buzz cut going to do other than making me fully f*****g bald

Your hair looks ratty most likely from the constant pulling and tension you put in it daily a short cut might give you some relief. Also a clearer picture at what your dealing with....Doesn't matter to me just my opinion.

just explaining why I’ve kept it long. Can fake some density. Hair color has changed and over density is a mess still lost about .5 inch of hairline in a few years.

How the hell would you know. You haven't ever cut it short. And actually you'll get more density appearance from shorter hair. Long hair weighs itself down and can look thinner. Also the tension from combing/brushing long hair is alot more then from short hair. You've probably loosened your hair from follicles messing with it so much.

I think you may just be losing your mental. Yes as you age so will the hair color, doesn't mean your balding. You can't be time, you need mental help to copen with the aging process.
Clearly there is a loss in density, but you caused this yourself. You’ve tried every hair loss treatment there is since 2017. You probably don’t even have male pattern baldness, you’ve just kept yourself in Telogen Effluvium from all the treatments. You pulled out the rest and threw them in the sink lol

Yeah thanks I’m sure you are right and now I’m fucked. I listened to every doctor and this forum and ruined what might have barely accelerated for years.

I wouldn't say your fucked. I think you just need to quit the minoxidil, go for a low fade/buzz cut. Its easier to maintain, You can always grow it back out. Try focusing on other aspects in life, also focus on mental strength and treat your body like a temple. You'll be better off.

Funny. I mean it’s a lot of density in just a few years. Yes I tried a lot of sh*t but kept everything at least 6 months before changing.
was ready to start Propecia but the doctor told me not to use it if I wanted kids in the next five years.
Topical Minoxidil a crazy shed from which I never recovered. Switched to oral minoxidil, could be causing shedding.
added RU for 6 months until I had a gyno scare. PCP thought testosterone gel would fix it. Yeah it did and fucked my hair even more.
Started oral Propecia huge f*****g shed, my balls swelled up like grapefruit and hurt so bad I couldn’t walk after a week. A week later my libido and errections were gone. Labs went crazy as well crazy high estradiol prolactin. Low DHT. Switched to topcial Finasteride for two years had some sides but never slowed the shedding down. Tried oral again, worked but sides came back and the hairline, which wasn’t thinning started to go fast at the forelock.
Low ferritin, had iron IV and my hair actually improved in 2019.
stayed on Propecia, tried HCG per doctor to balance sides, and added 1X week topical Dutasteride. Shedding went crazy again. Dropped Propecia, added RU back.
‘no one should lose ground in this stack’
Topical Dutasteride
Oral Minoxidil
RU
but unchanged since September 1 my hair has declined in that stack. My body feels like sh*t. And like WTF still losing 300-400 hairs a day
so yeah tried a lot over three years. would have loved to drop Finasteride and f*****g relax. I should have done nothing.
