Been on finasteride for 3 months
Though hair was goin through shed
But every hair that has falled out is thinner near the bulb that at the top (which i assumed was suppoused to be thinner)
Is this a sign that finasteride is not working for me and hairloss is progressing?

this is normal for hairs even if you don't have male pattern baldness. As the hair enters the catagen phase (basically a transition stage into the telogen phase or rest phase) it continues to grow but more slowly and produces weaker quality hair shaft (producing a thin area at the bottom of the shaft maybe with less pigmentation as well), before it finally enters telogen and sheds with the white bulb at the end. Completely normal

was looking at my hairs and literally everyone had gotten thinner near the follicle, though finasteride was not working
