    ACNE and propecia ARGHHHH!

    I had a similar experience. I started Propecia in September 03 and by the third week I started having acne outbreaks. I am prone to acne in my teens anyway though it has become manageable and not much of an issue by the time I was in my mid 20's (I am 29). Normally I would still get one...

    Proscar, shed begins

    I have got a question though. Is it possible to have a "shed" at around month 8 when there has been no shed prior to that at all? From month 1 to month 7 I have been on propecia and nizoral and no problem at all. Hairloss has almost stopped completely and nearly all scalp irritation, which...

    T-Gel vs. Nizoral

    I think it says leave in for 3 minutes before rinsing in the instruction that comes with the box. Now why would you not want to follow that instruction? It probably still works to an extent. But you really aren't getting your money's worth, are you?

    Any asians on here that had luck with propecia/proscar?

    Thanks! Never seen 21st Century product here either and I did make it a point to look at health supplements before.

    What is GNC? I am living in Hong Kong right now. I have looked but can't find MSM anywhere.

    Hey Andrew, you said you are in SE Asia. Mind telling me whereabouts? Where did you get your MSM and L-arginine?

    genki21, I am also Asian (or specifically Chinese) and a diffuse thinner. Been on propecia since 1st of September last year, which makes it close to 7 months odd by now. So far so good I must say. Hairloss has slowed right down to what I can best deduce as almost none. Not much regrowth yet...

    Propecia/Minoxidil Trials

    Is there a 7 year study on Propecia? And where could I find it if there is one? Thanks.

    My 3 months update

    I am 28 now. Will be 29 by Feb next year. I only first noticed my diffuse thinning in October 2002. But I have actually waited for it to happen all my life since my father is bald before he was 40. I don't actually have a hairline problem per se. I had a lot of hair and my hairline was...

    My 3 months update

    lightningcrashes, I think you and I started on propecia about the same time. I started on first week of September 03 and my loss has lessened quite dramatically. I shower twice a day and always wet my hair during showering though only shampoo it once every other day. My loss per two days...

    I'm using finasteride - is this shedding rate normal?

    I am a diffuse thinner too. I shampoo my hair every other day and on those days I lose about 40-50 hairs and on days I don't shampoo about 15 (still wetting my hair). But this is only in the shower. I lose 2-3 when I do the minoxidil routine each time and god knows how many during the day...

    Why are other countries less suspectible to balding?

    Re: high content of chlorine Unless you have gone back to Philippines and notice the deterioriation has stopped or reversed how can you be sure? Perhaps it is just your body clock ticking and geography being purely coincidental?

    Why are other countries less suspectible to balding?

    I live in Hong Kong too and I find the above description, from what I can see, to be absolutely untrue. I travel daily to work on the MTR, which is the underground railway system there, and every day I see LOTS of bald men and men with either receding hairline or diffuse thining, of all ages...
