Hi all
Ive been lurking the forums for around a decade. I'm currently 30 years old and I first noticed hair loss around 19.
In my early 20's I jumped on finasteride which I've probably been taking for 7 or 8 years now. Imy hair thickened slightly and I maintained for much of that time but now starting to worry that the effects are waning. I also tried minoxidil for a year - in that year my hair became incredibly thick for a time, but then I developed contact dermatitis! (Tried various formulations including foam and none of versions).
I've attached an image of my crown that I don't believe was thinning at the start of treatment, but then I didn't really give it too much thought as my hairline was the thing that bothered me.
what do you guys think to my crown?
Any suggestions for how to tackle this now? Higher dose finasteride? dutasteride? Brand of minoxidil?
Would love to hear from anyone but especially long time sufferers who may have been in a similar situation. I really don't want to lose everything now.
One other thing to add - in the last 6 months or so I have moved to a largely vegan diet.
Thanks.
