Thanks - guess I had equated my red scalp to inflammation from the balding process, and so I thought it would get better with finasteride. That being said, I need to be patient......

Thanks - wasn't suggesting finasteride caused sunburn, was wondering whether others had experienced an increase in scalp inflammation in the early stages of finasteride treatment

thanks - any thoughts from anyone else or on my "sunburnt' head issue?

Started finasteride a couple of weeks ago. Happy to report no issues at all so far. I have a few questions for you follicular aficionados... 1) when should I start hoping to get results? I know it can take a year but could I see results in 6 weeks? 3 months? 2) given I've had no sides at all - when do...

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere on here but this guy got pretty impressive results from minoxidil alone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT8bBPkzTfM

From reading the forums, seems like finasteride may be best to start with. Then if I need extra help, add in the minos. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hey everyone Awesome forum that's been a great help to me. I'm 34 and have had very slow temporal recession since I was approx 20 years old. I'm prob around an Norwood 2 but have just started to thin around the crown area and its really bothering me. I have both finasteride and minoxidil but not had the...
