Too late for propecia or rogaine

[philly02]

problem started loosing my hair since 18. About two years ago noticed a difference in the density in my crown and hairline. i'm not loosing alot of hair each day maybe 5-10. i believe i'm having trouble regrowing the hair that fall out. Should i be using rogaine or propecia?? here are couple of pics of my hair:

Too late? As long as you have hair to salvage, it is never too late.

Actually you caught it pretty early. With finasteride/Min/nizoral you should be able to keep what you have, and probably get some regrowth. Maybe throw in some spironolactone for a better shot at regrowth.

You're already better off than me and I'm trying to beat this. Go for it!!

Philly...you look like I did at 23....my problem was that I did not know that I was losing my hair. You have a GREAT chance of keeping your loss under control.

I would start with at least some finasteride. If you want max regrowth use %5 minoxidil....and throw in some Nizoral and T-Gel.

Wow...you can barely tell that you're losing your hair.....man, I give you all the respect in the world for making the hardest step....admitting that you are losing your hair.....you're gonna be fine, just take some action.

Good luck.

yo i dont see anything really lost like if i saw you on the street i problly wouldnt be able to tell. i think you still got time to wait cuz what if you start using sh*t then after a few years the drugs stop working...i dont know. i dont use anything either. but thats one reason why im not going to start using these drugs just yet. i think im just gonna try to thickin up my hair with the lasercomb and some thickiner shampoos. and maybe after i see some reults whith these then then ill try the dr procter nano and sh*t.. and after all that sh*t stops keeping my hair nice then ill use minoxidil and nizoral and hopefull wont have to use finasteride or Propecia..cuz thats the sh*t that fucks with your sex drive and if im doing that stuff then i think i would want to be married already and my be a kid so i wont have to worry about it fuckijn' with my kids health..plus i can use v**** with my wife if i aint able to fuk when i want.. but thats just the game plan life fucks you in the *** when ever possible so i dont know...pea's out yo..

You seem all too familiar. I would say that there is a DED PREZ under that new and very revealing name!

What says the group?

Maybe. The language is similar but the attitude is different. For now, anyway.

took me awhile to convinces myself that i'm slowly going bald. i went to my derm and he didn't think i'm going bald. i wanted to believe him, but if i do i'm just lying to myself.

i don't really wanna mess with finast just yet. i'm really scare of the shedding and other side effects. plus i don't have that much money for finast, minoxidil is much cheater. Is it possible to use minoxidil alone and get some regrowth? i had my hair check out at NHI and the surgeon said i had good scalp.

 

[bombscience]

I dont know man, I think that Finasteride and some Nizoral may be the best first step for you. This will preserve a lot of the hair you have now and has a good chance of thickening up what you have a little. You can add minoxidil later on down the road when and if your condition worsens.

Side effects on Finasteride are generally nill (though it has been suggested it might be a bad idea if you dont have much body hair), and even if you do encounter side effects, they generally go away once you stop. Finasteride can be had for as little as $200/year, or $60 for generic Finasteride which is just as good.

Minoxidil does not fight DHT or prevent the damage it does to your follicles. It merely makes the folicles grow hair despite damage, but your follicles will still eventually quit. That and minoxidil induced growth will fall out all at once if you quit, while Finasteride induced mantenence will simply start to fall again at the rate it was before. Oh, and minoxidil sheds are generally much worse then finasteride sheds. But dont sweat the sheds,. they dont last that long, and the alternative is long term baldness

I think you would be foolish not to use finasteride, or at least spironolactone, to fight DHT.

i love to see new people come and complain, show their pictures, and make me laugh because their "problem" that they've had for years is the problem i wish i could have.

you don't even have male pattern baldness son. =)

 

[HairyN]

you know...i wish i had his problem too but he does have male pattern baldness from the looks of it

#1 his left temple is more receded than the right

#2 his hairline hairs are noticeably thinner and weaker looking

 

[Grantspots]

We have to take him for his word whether he has male pattern baldness or not as we haven't seen any before photos. But ZAK is right about one thing - he's got more hair now than lots of us EVER had, even at our peak teen years.

Lucky bastard. Get on a regimen to keep it.

Do you know why its not a good idea if you don't have much body hair? and what side effects have those that have used finasteride experienced?

Oh and what is "spironolactone"?

Thanks
