My hair loss started when i was about 16. At first i was in denial because I believed that you basically inherited hair loss from your mothers side and my grandfather had great hair. When I turned 18 I realized that my hairline was nowhere near where it was just a couple years back and my confidence about my hair just plummeted. So after a year of uni with my hair getting worse and worse I decided to start this school year off by getting on the big three. I was sent to a dermatologist by my family doctor and he prescribed 5mg finasteride and I picked up some nizoral and minoxidil at the store. Hoping this works.
Wish me luck and I will be posting pics of my starting point sometime tomorrow with follow up pictures every couple of months.
EDIT: I was on finasteride for a year then switched to dutasteride.
After a couple months of minoxidil I stopped using it due to scalp irritation but now I use it nightly.
I switched from nizoral 1% to 2% recently also.
