    What Do You Think Caused My Hair To Shed?

    Hello, I started to shed hair about 4 years ago and talked to my dermatologist about this. He prescribed me finasteride, and everything has been fine since then. My shedding was minimal after that, and my hair-loss seemed to have come to a stop. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with colitis. I lost...

    Really Confused About My New Hair Shed

    Hey Guys, I was an active lurker here about 3-4 years ago when I first started shedding hair. I hopped on Finasteride pretty early after noticing hair loss and was able to pretty much hold on and decrease shedding for the next 3 years, nobody was able to notice I was losing hair or thinning...

    In a sticky situation

    Ive missed many weeks due to running out of medicine or taking a week off and nothing drastic has really happened. I went to a walk-in and got prescribed Prosper, as the doctor said it would be cheaper and that Propecia is a rip off, haha

    In a sticky situation

    I've been on finasteride for well over a year and have seen positive results. However, my prescription ran out about a week ago and when I called my derm they said I hadn't visited in over a year so I needed to get a referral again, and that appointments were being made near the end of November...

    Does Rogaine work for Diffuse Thinners

    Title says it all. Hairline doesn't seem to have shifted but have thinning all over the head. Been on finasteride for over a year. Would minoxidil help to thicken it up ?

    Could Creatine Cause Hairloss

    Was wondering if using creatine could accelerate hair loss. A couple of studies have shown that it increases DHT levels but I'm not sure how reliable and accurate those are. Would it be alright if one is taking finasteride along with creatine, would the creatine really even make a difference then ?

    Starting of Gyno

    Been taking finasteride for a year now and I felt my right nipple get puffy and a bit tender. Is this the starting of gyno ? I've hopped off finasteride for about a week now. Anything I can take to prevent the gyno, should I lower the dose or stop finasteride all together ? Will it stop by itself or am I screwed ?

    Thyroid and Hairloss

    What kind of hair loss does a person with thyroid have ? I'm going to get blood work done as it seems I could possible have thyroid. If I did, does that mean this whole time I was on finasteride it was a waste ? I still shed to this day while on it and it's been over a year.

    Is my crown thinning ? Should I start Rogaine ?

    Been on finasteride for about a year now, still shed hair but overall have halted or at least slowed down my hair loss. Here are some pictures of my crown a year ago vs now. Should I add min to the equation ? I use Nizoral 2-3 times a week a finasteride 1mg every day.
