Hi,
I want to hear from Propecia users who have good hairlines and temples, but only have thinning of the crown/vertex, such as myself. I want to hear about your success/failures/expectations/process .. please indulge me.
I have a good hairline & temples.. I'm thinning only on my crown/vertex and I am 27 years old. I noticed thinning about 1 year ago and hopped onto Propecia about 8 months ago. It's noticable but not 'bothersome' at this stage, as in I don't have any big slick spots... just a diffuse style thinning over the crown/vertex areas.
In the last 8 months I feel that I have been maintaining very well.. and after a couple months of irritated scalp and problem specific spot itches, everything has calmed down.. especially with the nizoral use 2 - 3x a week. I feel that the irritation/itching during the first few months of finasteride was a result of the changes taking place in my body/scalp involving DHT obviously. My scalp feels great these days.
I have had zero side effects with finasteride.
I think I'm one of those good responders, but I know I must wait a year or more to see how things go.. I will wait til then before deciding to add minoxidil to my regimen.
Anyway, I just wanted to hear from the vertex/crown thinners on finasteride, who, like me have good hairline & temples... I'm just trying to keep it focussed on this area thank you.
note: I currently shave my head with clippers using a #2 attachment (u.s. size). I like it I have dark, thick hair. Before shaving my head, I went from slicked back mobster hair, to shoulder length rocker hair, back to a shorter 'greaser' style, and now the short short ... I find that the #2 is comfortable and noticable thinning or not, I say fuckit.
Also, that is not me in my icon, it is Dave Vanian of The Damned.
Happy St. Patty's Day folks, I'm drinkin' right now, it does a body GOOD!
