Hi all, To update, I've been off of finasteride for about 3 weeks. Scalp doesn't have the redness or irritation that it did while on. Haven't changed anything besides stopping finasteride--same shampoo, same daily diet, etc. Some may say there's a small chance the finasteride isn't related to the redness, but I've...

Hi all, I'm nearing 11 months on finasteride, and am strongly considering quitting the drug. Last April when I started 1mg/day, I only had VERY minor thinning on the temps. Right after starting I noticed an itch in my scalp, and then dandruff shortly after. Now, I've never had dandruff or...

Hey man. I've had similar effects to those you described--itching, tingle, shed, all occurring since staring finasteride. How are you doing now?

Hey All, I've been on Finasteride for five months now and have not had any luck what-so-ever, with only a dramatic increase in hair loss. Last April I noticed my temples thinning, so I went to a doctor who immediately prescribed me Finasteride. I was only shedding maybe 10 noticeable hairs a...

About 4 months ago I went to the derm, and he detected male pattern baldness because I had thinning of temp region and a strong family history of it. With this diagnoses, i immediately jumped on 1 mg...

Yes. While you might have noticed a large difference in the first couple years of use, I think the Regaine became critical once you started on Propecia. The Propecia blocks the hairloss cause and rogaine stimulates growth--combined, I think, is why you've seen such positive results.

I'm in a similar situation. Before I started finasteride, only my temples were showing slight recession but nothing major. I still had very thick hair all over, including a pretty young hairline. Now after 2.5 months on finasteride (1mg per day, cut up from a 5 mg proscar), my temples have thinned dramatically...

Hey all, 19yo college student, male pattern baldness on both sides of family. Dad went bald at 35, mom's father went bald at 30. My 26yo brother has a 'mature hairline' with no crown thinning. About six months (January 2013) ago I noticed thinner hair in my temple regions, but, like many of us, I played the...
