Hi,
Around 14 months ago I started using Rogaine (5% foam) as my temples had started receding. I did not see much improvement so around 7 months ago I started 1mg Finasteride. The first two weeks of finasteride my libido shot up unbelievably, this then returned to normal. Things have just kept on getting worse with my hair though and I would say I have lost around 30% density at the very least. I don't really notice any side effects now except for oily skin.
I also use Nizarol and take Hair Folic vitamins. I have an appointment coming up with a Hair specialist who will look at it under the microscope - would this show if I have much hope for regrowth?
My plan is to continue to the 12 month mark and see how things are then - I guess this would be sensible before I considered anything else more drastic (PRP/hair transplant) I am quite concerned by how thin it is now though so any reassurances or advice much appreciated!!
Many Thanks
