Can anyone explain why the doner area might thin (ears/sides) like the guy that replied here stated? how is that possible?
i never had any crown problem (only frontal) and after 2 months i feel thinning there... am i ok guys? why is this happening?
Give it time, dude. The explanation as to why the sides might thin is because a lot of guys with male pattern baldness lose hair there as well. For lots of guys (myself included) the temple points (that triangular clump of hair that sticks out of your forehead above the side burns) disappear and the hairline on the sides just goes straight up from the burns to the top of your head. The hair on the side of your head generally tends to thin out a bit as well for lots of guys. For me when I started finasteride my main problem area was just the crown, but after a while on finasteride I noticed my sides had thinned out a bit. Judging by pics of my maternal grandfather who I think has the pattern I'm following, I would have lost hair there as well eventually, so the finasteride just sped up the process and eventually it grew it back. This could be what's going on with your crown. You were going to lose it there eventually (probably sooner than later) and the finasteride is just getting rid of the hairs that are already have some dht damage. Chance are it will come back the same it was before or thicker.
Finasteride is a long term commitment. If you feel something might be really wrong get a blood test done, but most likely you're just experiencing a bit of a shed. I know it's not what everyone wants to hear, but all you can do is ride it out.
