Thanks for the positive feedback. I will keep updating this thread, especially now as I am back to being anxious almost all of the time over my hair.
I am planning to do a trichoscopy, however I dont think it is required to know what is going on. The loss in density is present.
But I may still...
It is hard to notice diffuse hair loss. I thought i was maintaining. I guess wet hair reveals what is happening. Both taken in the same bathroom under same lighting conditions. The difference is insane. After almost 7 years of daily finasteride at 1.25mg, this is sad. I will start dutasteride...
Another update and asking for opinions.
Its been around 6 years on finasteride 1.25mg daily (1.25 mg every other day for the first couple of years).
For side effects, they have been mild and tolerable.
I will attach new photos of my hair. People are starting to note more of my thinning on top...
Hello dear old friends.
A quick update.
I have been on finasteride for almost 5 years now. Currently taking 1.25mg daily.
Hair is still the same (new right temple minimal thinning), no side effects.
I am no longer logging in that often, thanks to finasteride. And would like to decrease even more time spent here for obvious reasons. Can still engage in small talks though :P
Dude got shorter, more wrinkles and had his jaw line destroyed by finasteride. I think you're just realizing how average/ugly you are. A lot of us went through that phase, so chill.
