I'm sorry to repeat myself. I'm just having trouble understanding how the visible balding spot (which is one the immediate right of my part) could have popped up so quickly. A few weeks ago, I know it wasn't there. At least, not to the point that it was visible when dry, which it is most of the time now. As I said, I'm in my 10th month on finasteride, and getting very nervous that I'm not a responder. Some have talked about late-term finasteride sheds, but I just don't know. My shedding has decreased by half in the last two months. (150+ to between 50 and 70)
There's also a nagging concern if this is a result of me cutting back minoxidil (started May '03) from twice to once a day about five months ago. I hadn't thought minoxidil had been doing anything, but was afraid to stop. I switched to once a day because I also started putting it on my right temple, and just didn't want to use the stuff up twice as fast.

Imagine his kind of thinning vertex, only seen under bright light (which I don't think he is), and with a trasnparent patch on the right of the part. (Like someone took a bite out of it.) That's basically me.
