What is going on HairLossTalk.com???
So as mentioned in a few posts above, in September 2007 I went on a 10-day vacation and didn't bring my foam. When I got back home, I started using the foam in the mornings and nights, pretty much everyday (I think I missed 3-4 applications in about 12 months).
However, about 3-4 months in, I noticed I started to shed. Didn't think much of it since it was probably b/c I missed 10 days of application while on vacation.
Low and behold however, this shed has now been going on for 1year+ (even while still applying the foam twice daily and taking proscar). This past month, it has been the worst shed since a long long time.
As you can see from the pics below taken today, I've lost all I regrew. The only reason I can think this occurred is becasue I didn't use the foam for 10 days as I don't think it would be due to anything else.
Here are some pics:

As you can see, I am back to square one, where I was when I wasn't using any meds for male pattern baldness.
So to you members, what is my next step? Obviously, the meds have lost their effect on my male pattern baldness. I really don't know why the meds don't want to work the second time around...? I am already on proscar so I can't add that to my regime. The only thing I can think of is getting some 12.5% or 15% minoxidil. I had great success with minoxidil before and it was the reason for my loss so maybe a higher concentration will work...???
I'm not too sure - what do you guys think?
Other than that...I still go out and get drunk with my friends and I play intramural basketball so I don't let male pattern baldness affect me at all. Does it suck? Of course it does because who wants to be 23-24 years old and balding...no one.
However, after going through male pattern baldness the "second" time (now) it really is a lot easier to handle. I've come to accept it and let it be. But still, if I can do something about it I will try..like anyone else on here would.
One piece of advise I can give to everyone - STAY ON YOUR MEDS LOL!!
