Here is month 11 update! - 1.25mg finasteride morning (since Day 1) - nizoral once a week * I became too lazy applying rogaine since Month 6... I don't know why. Maybe because I was satisfied enough. I skipped few days then I just gradually haven't use it. **anyway I am going to add some...

Here is Month 5 update I maintain same regime but I become lazy applying rogaine at night. But I never skip finateride. What I am experiencing now: - no side effect - no more stress from hairloss - still losing about 20 - 30 hair per shower (Noticing fallen hair got thicker) - no see...

Its late but its not too late. You still have hair and its good. Usually diffuse thinners dont match norwood scale becuase of overall thinning. Get minoxidil asap and apply twice a day. Minoxidil finasteride combo at its best result in synergy that can be very effective. Also, diffuse...

You need to do following: 1. See a dermatologist (says you are not balding) 2. See another dermatologist (in case you would still think you are balding) 3. Repeat this until one of the dermatologists recommend you to see a psychologist 4. See a psychologist

I mean as you see your test result finasteride definitely has some effect on your body. Finasteride increases testosterone and estradiol level by 15% average (I got them from Merck). Yours are 40% and 70% increase within a month. It’s just doesn’t seem right. :confused:

Theoretically, your DHT level should go down 70% (+-15%) from baseline after a month. So, in your case, your DHT level should be in range of 300 - 600. But it is 1670?? It’s not working at all. I recommend you to consult with your doctor. This is not normal. It’s possible that - your pills...

I heard it from my finasteride prescribing doctor. He said “It is extremely low for a young man to experience sexual side effects.” He also mentioned that he personally has never heard from his patient about experiencing side effects from finastride.

3 months is not long enough to see the improvement from finasteride however that amount of shedding is little too much given that you are 3 months in. I would recommend to see a dermatologist at this moment. If you haven’t done blood test yet I recommend do it as well. Genetics may not a single...

Do not think about side effects I have been taking fina for 4 months now. I am diffuse thinner and I am already seeing a progress. No side effect at all. Having side effects from fina is extremely rare at age 20s ~ 30s. I don’t know your age but majority of people who experience sexual side...

Okay I am now in Month 4 I couldnt take duta for 2 weeks for some reason. I switched to finasteride after 3 month use of dutasteride. My regime: -1.25mg finasteride every morning - rogaine foam once a day - nizoral once a week - 5000mg biotin every morning So I feel like way less see...

I would say you are going through shedding phase. My minoxidil sheddeing started week 2 since the first application. I think diffuse thinners like you and I experience extra shedding becuase of wide thinning area compare to others. I used to lose 15 to 20 when I apply minoxidil till Month 2. Now...

Started the big 3 3 months ago And I am still losing hair (f**k shedding) I have curly hair so keeping hair short is better for me since my I am a diffuse thinner I am just wondering if you guys notice any improvement of my hair I feel like its got little thicker but I dont know may be just...

I have never had depression in my life. I consider myself as always outgoing and positive person. But since I realized all of my hair on top of my head diffusing and shed I got into serious depression. I avoid to meet my friends, always making excuses. I only told my balding to my two best...

Modern medicine is a blessing. Go for it. Numerous scientific studies have shown that finasteride works. One study showed that finasteride treatment group (1316 men in this group) has experienced significant increase in hair count in a inch diameter circular area. 138 more hair in a inch...

Hey guys, I am a 25yo Asian diffuse thinner all over my scalp (except donor area and sides) and my hairline is receding. I am currently on dutasteride and rogaine foam. I started to use both exactly 60 days ago and today I got my first haircut after I started the treatment. Although I apply...
