Hey forum,
I posted a thread back in January outlining my experience with Finasteride. I've been off it since and I would say that my hair is thinner, especially along the hairline.
I tend to wear hats a lot at work which can irritate and dry out my skin causing dandruff (especially in summer). I'm trying to figure out if my hairloss is also being caused mechanically (flaky skin, inflammation), as well as genetically.
Last year before I started finasteride I first noticed my hair was weak and lifeless a couple months after losing my job, barely eating and staying up till 4am depressed, so also not sure if stress can make your hair look like sh*t? Before that the hair seemed stronger and a bit more dense.
Anyways, life is great now but hair not 100%. Here are pictures of my hair wet, in front of natural light. Does it look like diffuse thinning or just a mature hairline? finasteride worked last year so probably the former?
I'm going to not wear any hats and use Ketoconazole every day and minoxidil and report back in a couple of months with pics. I'm also going to eat healthier. If it works I'll start a small dose of finasteride and post results too, to narrow down what treatments are working.
