HELP - 2 weeks after finasteride and I’m balding?!

If you are not receding I doubt you were balding in the first place. That bald spot is either areata or fungal

 

[I wont lose this]

f***, I think it’s because I’ve been applying Clindoxyl in that area because I was getting acne. Wtf can it be fixed or is it forever gone?

It is an exfoliating gel, no wonder why you lost hair so quickly. It will probably come back. I get acne on scalp here and then and the only thing that hasn't done any harm is benzoyl peroxide 2%.

That looks like something other than male pattern baldness. It's circular so it could be a fungus or alopecia areata. Go to a doctor for that. @jazz1

 

[DoctorHouse]

Yes I think it’s cuz of Clindoxyl, f***. Should I use Nizoral if I don’t have fungus? My doctor is kinda low IQ and she didn’t bother checking my scalp when I asked her about my scalp acne

LOL, we all use Nizoral shampoo for male pattern baldness which is not a fungus.

 

[DoctorHouse]

Aight good to know, I’m gonna get one just in case. How many times should i use it and what %?

If you can get 2 percent it's better but if not 1 percent will work. I would use it every other day for a week or too and then ween down to one or two days per week but expect your hair to feel drier.

 

[DoctorHouse]

I also use Head & Shoulders Anti-Dandruff with 1% pyrithione zinc. I don't if that helps fight against acne as well as Nizoral

For acne you need a shampoo with salicylic acid. Look on line for one.

 

[I wont lose this]

As I said I usually get acne on my scalp but no matter how painful they are it has never gotten to this point. Maybe, just maybe, the gel you're applying is too harsh and ended up causing this. Wait a few more weeks, I don't think your hair is gone forever on those patches.

Update:
I made an appointment with my Doctor for next week’s Wednesday. But holy sh*t am I freaking out. I don’t know if it’s caused by the Clindoxyl (as I used it on Mar 2 for ~4-5 days and stop completely, this was before taking the before picture in the original post which was taken on Mar 10) or by the pimple/cyst/fungus or whatever the f*** it was that was there. I used the Clindoxyl gel because that sh*t hurted when touching it.

The bald spot feels smooth as hell, and I took some pictures and notice very small hairs right in the middle of the spot

f***, I just wanna know if hair can grow back. I don’t see or feel hair grains on the spot when touching it. Can’t believe my hair got fucked so quickly.

I also noticed acne on the back of my head too and hopefully it doesn’t develop into a bald spot.

I had acne on my scalp for a while now, and never had this bald spots, or at least that I know of.

Does the bald spot feel as smooth as your boi pussy?

 

[losingbattle88]

Yes, is that a bad sign?

I love you.

That could very well be alopecia areata.See if it gets bigger the next few days.It might also be Ringworm,and if it is you might need antibiotics.
Becareful with that,try to be on top of everything.

Do you think it's possible to regrow hair there?

I wrote a post about AA,because i ve had it.Yes,absolutely you ll get you hair back,but first see if it gets bigger the next 2 days.I am almost positive that it looks like AA from the picture..I think its imperative you see a dermatologist to verify your condition.If you dont wanna do that let me know if it gets bigger by tomorrow and i ll be happy to walk you through all the steps i took to reverse it.

My sisters boyfriend had a spot like yours. It can be caused by stress. Its alopecia areata. It grew back after he needled the area.

 

[losingbattle88]

I think my sister said needled with garlic. Or just needled. I Will ask her again.

 

[losingbattle88]

Yeah right now I'm applying castor oil to that area too.

U basically need to stimulate the hairs to grow again. Needling can stimulate so can garlic.

 

[losingbattle88]

Yeah right now I'm applying castor oil to that area too.

Forget the Castor oil that wont help. Its also thick and can clog the pores.

 

[losingbattle88]

Yeah right now I'm applying castor oil to that area too.

This dude says he had bald spots, highly likely alopecia areata.

 

[DoctorHouse]

@jazz1 had the same thing. I was hoping he would chime into your thread.

UPDATE: Bald spot came back again
View attachment 182511
After almost full regrow the bald spot came back again on the same spot although smaller. I’m 100% is due to the huge amount of acne I was getting in that area of my scalp. I have no one to ask for help, my ex-family doctor was a useless b**ch who didn’t know sh*t and I don’t have any other family doctor to ask for a deferral to a dermatologist… so much for “muh muh Canadian healthcare is awesome” anyways, I guess I’ll stick to Nizoral (I’ve been using it for like 3 weeks) and see if it’s gonna help. My acne has cleared up but I feel more will come. I’m hoping for the best.

I can’t believe I’ll go bald due to acne for of all things. I’m not even going to have a smooth bald scalp, but instead an acne scarred ridden bald nutsack for a head.

I like clearasil wet pads that I rubb on face to remove acne Always works.
