So heres my story
Started noticing hair loss at about 19 years old and had the following treatments :
at morning i mix normal 5% 0.5ml with 0.5ml from the minoxidil 6% with propecia eod(very mild sides or else i would have dropped it).
and at night the 10% minoxidil, i bought the 15% version later on but i almost dont use it as i'm afraid it might be too harsh on my scalp, to be honest i'm not sure if i'm a good responder to minoxidil but i'm too afraid of loss to quit it
and since i started the new treamtment i feel that the whole back area of my hair has thinned severely(up until the last treatment i was thinning slowly but mostly at the front).
right now i'm pretty much torn about what to do from here on, not sure about the 15% minoxidil so for now i'm sticking with the 10% and lower 5% with some propecia in it, although not sure if using this little amount is doing me any good or on the flipside is it making things worse, read about zix and decided as it's so cheap i might aswell try it aswell, would like to hear your opinions on how i should proceed
i'll upload pictures so you can evaluate yourself :
baseline of new treatment:
more recent, which feels just alot thinner overall :
current front really thin
Could also provide more pictures or older ones but these are more relevant, my main concern is that i was seeking to improve things a bit atleast and instead i feel during the last half year i lost a lot of hair a bit too fast as if the thing went into overdrive, would really appreciate your comments and suggestions , thanks.
Started noticing hair loss at about 19 years old and had the following treatments :
- 19-21, 5% minoxidil (first liquid then foam) ,finasteride (first year and half 1mg then 0.5mg due to sides), nizoral 2-3 times a week
- 22 , dropped finasteride alltogether and switched to ru , used it for about 8 months but had to stop due to even worse sides, minoxidil 5% twice a day , nizoral 2-3 times a week
- 23-24 5% minoxidil twice a day ,nizoral 2-3 times a week, lost most hair density at this time as i was not using any dht blocker
- about 8 months ago after continuing to thin i decided i gotta try something new to save my hair
ordered at first 10% minoxidil with azelic acid and later on 15% with azelic acid , also 6% with propecia called essegen 6(decided to try use low dosage topically) all from minoxidilmax btw (would be glad to hear opinions although i researched before purchasing and saw nothing negative about them)
