My name is kuit i'm 26 years and suffer now from lupus erythematosus. I also had a little bit of folliculitis for like 8 years with ssri medication but a 2 months ago i had a real breakout in my hair. i had 2 overdoses medication and suffering from real stress. now i've 6 months of telogen effluvium.

the 2 big pitctures from the hair follicle is my crown area, i can't brush it downwards it sticks like this, my mother has it too.

I maybe want to start with finasteride 0,5mg

What do you think?

You may have lupus, but you got a solid hair line ;). What immunosuppresors are you on? If you are having to take prednisone long term, I wouldnt touch finasteride for that reason alone (and u don't need it anyhow). You can get some pretty crazy mood swings with prednisone, and depression is a big red flag of finasteride. On a 1-10 scale, how bad would you rank your lupus? Telogen Effluvium is often caused by acute stress. Just some thoughts

Thank you for your comment
They wanted me on prednison but i refuse to take prednison, it's a very bad drug. I've drugs induced lupus with a butterfly rash, folliculitis, weakness, depression (even in my sleep), inflammatory all over, muscle loss, headages. i'll give it a 6. I see thinning going on but cannot give it fully as a cause of androgenetica because i've lived a hell year with deep deep emotional stress, intoxinations of drug abuse (1 time hospital), lack of nutrition and sleep, 7/8 years on ssri, antipsychotics and many more bad drugs. I cannot find any answers if my lifestyle can cause unhealty miniaturized hair all over do you know? My dad is has a Norwood 3/4 at front and a Norwood 4 on the crown. My mothers asian side there's no balding. I'm half asian half france and have 1 brother he is 27 and on his way to a nw2 i guess. My brother and i are not look-a-like he has a full beard and i unfortunately havent, he looks like my dad and i look like a full asian dude, but i still can have my dads hairgenes.

Thank you for bumping this, admin!

Here's a new picture so you can understand what i mean; http://www12.speedyshare.com/t54Mv/download/1.png

I don't think anyone will tell you you have male pattern baldness because it really looks like you don't. everyone's hair gets thinner as they age or hairline changes shape whether you suffer from male pattern baldness or not. do you suffer from anxiety or ocd at all?

I'd say your anxiety is taking over and you're making the situation catastrophic in your thought process. I also suffer from anxiety so I'm in the same sort of position. we become fixated on something and then analyzed it constantly and see only the worse possible outcome. its not male pattern baldness atm as I'm sure most on here would of told you straight away if it was. there is a lot educated people on this forum so I would take their advice. if your really worried go see your doctor or mental health doctor :)

partly yes i know my ocd is taking over but partly my mind is playing tricks with me even if i'm asleep i've bad nightmares with horrible scenarios. My dad (frence men) has at the front a norwood 3 and at the back a nw4, so my anxiety is not coming from nowhere as i'm 26 now. But my maternal grandfather has a juvenile hairline, he was asian. My brother is 27 years old and has a little thinning at front but i'm not certainly sure but he just doesn't look asian and has a full grown beard and stuff. But i have like my maternal father no beard or chess hair or any of that, but still i think we are thinning the same, my brother and i.

I've to say that i was on ssri antipsychotics and stuff like diazepam for like 8 years, i'm living in major stress for maybe 10 years.. december '11 the big stress was upon me and i tried to suicide with my medications on a high dose, there for i landed in the hospital. I don't know if this could cause Telogen Effluvium but ssri caused folliculitis for a long time, i know that for sure. In april my life just collapsed when somebody i loved died. I quite with all the medication dry turkey and began to go to the gym ocd-style.. i had a bad/not enough diet and lost 35 pounds in 6/7 weeks. I still don't know if this all can cause Telogen Effluvium. Then the Telogen Effluvium kicked in, maybe it was present longer but i noticed it just then. In the gym i could grab like 30/40 hairs from the back of my head like it was nothing.. My docter sad to me i was going to be bald and wear a cap. months i suffered from agressive Telogen Effluvium maybe 200 hairs lost a day. Sep '12 This all was to much for me, just to much and i taken the second overdosis, but this time, higher and with propranolol/bloodpressure medication. Now i think i'm going trough a second Telogen Effluvium shed but not as agressive as the first one. The last overdose caused me to have drug induced lupus and i'm at home alone for like 4 1/2 months like prison. I've seen nobody just my parents come 1 time in 2 weeks bring food. I'm oftenly think to try a third suicide but this time i've enough medication for me not to survive. I'm freaking alone.. that's why i come to you guys for help. I hope you understand me. thanks

Can finasteride work on the hairline?

Yes it can. and no you should not take it unless you have male pattern baldness and are sure.
