23 yr old male, fine hair. Started Propecia 1mg a day name brand 9 months ago. Constant shedding, minor itch, labido up and down, and lethargic, not sure if all relate to propecia. I have not receded substantially that I can tell, just thinning on top all over. It is weird because my temples are as thin as the rest of my head. From what I have read this could be Telogen Effluvium along with male pattern baldness? (i take a couple medications that have a rare Telogen Effluvium hair loss side effect) Miniaturization is what is killing me and I have not seen a new hair sprout in months. Can your whole head go terminal at once or all rest at once? I have also only shampooed my hair every 3 days for the past 4 months and changed from taking propecia in the morning to night time a month ago which could have started a little shed maybe, maybe not. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am sticking to it for the full year and deciding routes from there.
First 3 pictures are start of treatment (IMG1640,1886,1900)
9 months in is the rest (IMG3705,3701,3699,3472,36763673

The first 3 pictures are before treatment.. The rest are 9 months after taking propecia everyday. Also all the hairs I am shedding have a good bit of sebum buildup. Like all of them..

Hair looks the same to me, I don't even think you have male pattern baldness tbh

You are so lucky to have maintained! Ive been on propecia for almost two months and it just accelerated my balding :( which really sucks because my hairline to start with was already bad
