My story is a little different. I am 52 years old and maintained my hair for a long time using 1.25 Finasteride. Then I started shedding at a rapid rate and within a month period lost most of the hair on the top of my head except for temple area. Also lost eyebrows and parts of body hair. Underarms, chest hair ETC
I couldn’t get into a Dermatologist over the holidays and appointment in not until February. I did a lot of research and think I have some type of Alopecia. I checked side effects of a medication I am taking for nerve damage and in rare cases it can cause hair loss which was confirmed by my regular Doctor. I slowly am weaning myself off the medication.
I took an aggressive approach and started derma rolling along with using Minoxidil 5% twice a day. I am seeing less and less hair loss and feeling little nubs growing all over my scalp. My wife with the help of a magnifying glass is seeing a lot of regrowth. Whether nubs will materialize into real hair remains to be seen.
I ordered a Derma stamp 1.8 MM and used that for the first time today. Worked well but can be a bit painful. I find a stamp easier to use than a roller.
I will keep everyone posted with my results but I am hopeful I have some good things going on.
