The first and the last bump. I'll let this thread die if I get no answer again, I promise.

This is probably a dumb question, but won't that make it more difficult for my skin to absorb the shampoo due to pores closing or something?

I remember that my testicles hurt, nipples got more sensitive, and erections were probably a bit weaker, but all of that went away and now I don't see any side effects. I cut a 5mg pill into quarters and have one quarter every day. Denser temples are probably just an illusion caused by my hair...

I'll be happy if I can just maintain what I have, honestly. I am not looking for regrowth, although it would be a nice bonus. Thanks for your reply.

Hey. I'm just going into my 3rd year on finasteride. I haven't noticed any significant changes in my hairline in those two years, but my opinion is probably biased, so I'm here asking for yours. The first pic is from over 2 years ago before I started taking the pills. The other one is about 2...

Hello! It's been 14 days now since I started taking finasteride (1.25 mg a day). My balls were a bit more sensitive for some time, but it's okay now. I feel like my sex drive is a bit lower, but I don't really mind that, since I'm not experiencing ED (yet?). What worries me the most is that my...

Thank you both guys. I'll probably consult the finasteride thing with my Doctor. Would like to dodge mino for now, heard some scary things about that one.

Hello! My father and his father are both bald, most men from my mother's side started balding around their 40s. I started noticing that my temples are receding about a year ago. I started using Alpecin C1 (caffeine shampoo) and taking zinc pills around the same time. I think that my hairline...
