Hi
I'm 21,
started nizoral + finasteride about 2 weeks ago,
Rogaine 5% 1.5 months ago.

( the big 3 - may god help me :( )

Anyway, I shaved my head so far so I won't be "sad" about my hair loss,
and started growing it back 2 weeks ago.

I've noticed a HUGE difference, it looks MUCH thinner and basically for the first time in my life many people commenting DAILY about my hairloss problem saying I'm going bald.

I don't know if it's because of the medication or not, but things look awful by now, I guess I'll have to buzz cut it again ( for the rest of my life ? :x ) :lost:
I don't know if it's the so called shedding period or not,
since I didn't experience any hair falling out due to my buzz cut but now I just try to pull out my hair using strength and it seems very hard, so I really don't know :\

Anyway my question is about my hair loss pattern,- I guess I'm a diffuse thinner but things look weird,
this is my pattern :
(sorry I don't have a camera yet...)

I've marked with red the ONLY places where I'm thinning. -
In the front and the sides.
My vertex and total look from behind by this point is looking - OK.
even from upper look hair looking - "OK" , but not the sides and the front which are thinning day by day.

Can't say its 100% full but the main problem is in the front as you can see in the photos ( God I hope I caught it on time ).
The weirdest thing are my sides, they seem to be loosing hair also, just like the front !

Where I live there the doctors don't know much about hairloss.
I just went to my doctor and she said within 2 seconds - propecia, before I knew I was out of the room.
I know my hair loss pattern isn't "standard" , but my question is will the big 3 help me?
Can it be that my hair loss is not genetic and propecia won't do anything, and I'm waisting my time while I can still save my hair?

please help me
my life is going down :(
Thank you.

Re: 21 - General question regarding my hair loss pattern

Seems to me like it's just a shed from the Finasteride. The exact same thing happened to me when I first started taking it. I took the first pill and shaved it right down to nothing and as it grew bacvk i noticed it was much much thinner. My hairloss is the same patter, but my crown is also thinning. it's growing back now thicker with a whole ton of baby hairs on the hairline.

Thanks for the quick reply ,
and for giving me hope.

How is your front and sides reacting to the big 3 ?

I'm actually only on 2/3 being Finasteride and nizoral. so far everything seems to be coming in really good. Overall I think I'm allready back to baseline with some miniature hairs coming in and the existing hair itself seems to be much fuller.

I'm thinking of adding min into the mix next year if I'm not satisfied with the results at that point
