Hello all, 
This is my first message and wanted to start by a big thanks for all contributions which still give me hope and light. I read you since months and it's really help me to keep motivation (I think for example with the Microneedling tread).
I'm 28 years old man, from Europe. I can't really say when I started loose my hairs, I would maybe bet on my 20 years old when for the first time my scalp become very itchy with huge level of dandruff. I used Pyrithione zinc it killed everything. My hair didn't move for long, I well noticed hairs fall but I never had the feeling it was more than 100. Until today, I for sure sometimes asked myself and see a very slow receding but was always positif thought it was just the age. (Imbecile)
In September 2018, I noticed a lot of hairs were falling as soon as I touched it, especially my middle scalp . I I freaked out and checked carefully my scalp and finally accepted the truth, I f*****g loose my hair. I still could hided it with middle long hairs but I saw big damages,. Diffusing everywhere with a my mild scalp which really start to be destroyed with a road for a norwood 5 and quick recession on the temples. My (remaining) front line has still correct density but definitely less wide.
I started immediately finasteride 1mg per days, I added Nizoral very quickly and complements (Foligain: Vitamines + Natural DHT). It's now soon 4 months I have this regiment and the situation got globally worst. At the beginning I was happy because my fall reduced on the mid scalp, I got a shedding but only of very small/thin hairs. It still true today. When I make a resistance test on the mid scalp, I have almost no hair coming. I also think I see very small regrowths in the front line, which is not the most expected but still positive.
But I mostly had bad news, I can't now anymore hide everything with my hair on the mid right gulfs. It's definitely visible and I had some remarks from friends 3 days ago, I'm officially a futur bald, I'm devastated. I have also, (since a month) a big shedding on the vertex which was a bit better than mid scalp. I have big hairs coming almost each time with resistance test. I could get 30/40 hairs if I do it a lot, probably more. Only the big hairs on my middle/front seem to be resistant. I find also on my pull lot of tiny hairs, like between 0,5mm and 1cm. Last point my globally my seems to be thinner than before. I'm f*****g scared.
I don't know if it's a temporary situation. Of course I hope, especially as I'm really aware it takes at least one year to really know but as it's visually worst I really get scared to be bad responder to fina. I can't see if I have regrowth or if it's hair trying to survive in the end of their life. I continue the treatment and I cross the finger, I feel really bad.
I just upgraded my regiment as following and maybe will increase again soon with minoxidil (I wanted so much to avoid it but I won't have choice):
- Finasteride 1mg each days (just changed brand to finpecia from alldayschemist)
- Microneedling 1,5mm each weeks with a dermapen
- Rosemary oil + castor oil each night
- Keto + complements (Foligain)
This is my new regiment, started Microneedling and applying rosemary oil since this week-end.
I need support guys, I'm in a psycological bad period. I have few questions and I know some can't be answered, it's just a question of time and I just have to stay consistent and wait. I probably just need to talk and receive some advise. I guess I need some psycological support ^^ :
1) Do you think my vertex has just a normal shedding from fina?
2) Why my mid scalp is more visible if I loose less hair here? Shedding story again?
2) Should I add minoxidil right now? I'm so scared about other shedding which make it worst.
3) What do you think about oral minoxidil 5mg/10mg per day? Is it really dangerous?
4) Do you think I could add duta 1 or 2 per week if situation continue like that after 6 months? Should I wait more? (I have absolutely no side for the moment with fina)
5) Does anyone prefer Pyrithione zinc to Keto? Even if Keto helps a lot with my DS, in my memories PZ was even better against dandruff and maybe itching.
6) Any other advise?
I'm really ready for duta and FUE if need few (long) months first.
Thank you so much guys!
