Started minoxidil 5% on June 3rd of this year. Would usually see 3-5 hairs when showering. On July 24th started shedding like I couldn't believe! I know its "normal" but the uncertainty of whether it will grow back or not is horribly stressing!
Anyhow, went to the dermatologist who confirmed male pattern baldness (I'm 32 and about a NW1-1.5) and will prescribe propescia after the blood tests come back.
Am I going to have to endure another shed? From what I understand shouldn't the minoxidil be taking care of the "sheddable"/telogen hairs? At least where I am applying the minoxidil?
BTW: Doctor also told me to start taking Biotin. How come its so rarely mentioned around here.
