Minoxidil makes it worse?? Long term?? I know there are initial sheds but long term? Should I stop using min? I’m confused

Yeah man thanks. I’m actually pretty at peace with it. Don’t mind the shaved look and I imagine I’ll have close cropped coverage on the top of my head for a good while. After that maybe hair transplant. We’ll see how I feel. I’m not gonna lie it was a really really tough 7 months. But I’m coming to accept it...

Alright so in my last post I mentioned that I’ve given up the fight. I’m kicking the pills and I’ve just decided to start shaving it because I did finasteride for over a year and things got dramatically worse within that year then I hopped on dutasteride and after 3 weeks it gave me gyno so...

Lmao my hair is like ‘Norwood Scale? Why don’t we just do the whole thing at once?’. Baffling. A year ago I was Norwood 0 with very minimal left temporal recession. Hopped on finasteride last August and hasn’t done a thing for me. Things have gotten way worse in a single year. Hopped on...

Also, you sure Norwood 1? Seems to me like it’s leaping right past that.

No no I’m from the US. But online it says I need a prescription. How do I do that without seeing my doctor? Will he prescribe it if I ask?

two things: 1 yeah forsure I don’t have a problem with that I’m just a bit nervous because it’s happening pretty rapidly. 2: can I get dutasteride from my gp? I know it’s not fda approved for hair loss. But a lot of guys get on it for that so just wondering how that process works?

Do I have to worry about side effects? I haven’t experienced any on finasteride.

Hey so I’ve been on these forums a couple times. I’m a 26 year old guy and I’ve been concerned about temple recession for a while now although in the past it’s seemed minimal to most. Finally I went to a different dermatologist and she suggested a scalp biopsy to find out once and for all...

Come on man you can’t tell me that that doesn’t look like something. And even if it seems relatively minor to you (I’m totally respectful of the fact that people are struggling with this further down than I may be) you’d have to admit that if this was flush two years ago and now it looks like...

Just made an appointment. My only concern is I’ve already been on finasteride like 8-9 months with minoxidil twice a day. I can’t tell if it’s worse better or halted in place.

Hey I’ve posted on here a couple times recently. I’m gonna make an appointment with the derm asap (obviously everything’s kinda crazy right now). Just wondering should I see a derm or someone else. Just google hair loss specialist? I’ve never been diagnosed with male pattern baldness or been checked for...

Hey I’ve been on finasteride for about 6 months and using minoxidil twice a day for the same amount of time because I noticed my temples pushing back. Never had a problem with the crown. Recently been feeling sort of sensitive on my crown. Not in pain or anything just sort of aware of it all the...

Even if it’s up to 6 sometimes?

because of the length I’m definitely coming away with at least one or two or three strands almost every time I run my hands through my hair. But it’s usually only about that much.
