Hello everyone,
I will make a little summary of my hair loss story,
I noticed some bald spots at 17; they were not that bad, you could barely see them. I didn´t give any importance to it as I thought I wouldn´t go bald at any time soon.
It was not until my 2nd year at high school when some of my friends noticed I was losing some of my hair at the front and back, some of my football coaches even noticed it too. After realizing I really had a problem going on my scalp, I decided to see a dermatologist who said I just had a fewer amount of hairs per square inch, she told me to star with Rogaine-minoxidil. And so, I did but after a month of thinking about it.
Before applying minoxidil I was shedding about 60-80 hairs per day, so I eventually decided it was the time to start with Rogaine, at first it scared the sh*t out of me because of all the extra shedding (during the following 2 weeks I was shedding the double amount of hairs), but however I decided to continue with Rogaine.
Since then I have noticed some slightly differences like: thicker hair and faster growth, but nothing more than that. As I mention I am about to end my 5th month on Rogaine, but I’m tired of seeing my hair banish more and more as the days go by. I don´t really think Rogaine has helped a lot, so I’m looking for some alternatives.
Should I try finasteride?
Here are some pics of my Rogaine progress.
I hope to hear your opinions and thoughts.
