Hi All.
I'm new here and was hoping for some insight from this community. Quick background: I began taking 1.25 mg of finasteride daily back in 2010 as essentially a precautionary measure and had great success with no side effects. Because I didn't really have major hair loss or recession to begin with I foolishly stopped the meds 2 years later. For the past 3 years I've had a great, healthy head of hair with very minimal recession.
About 6 weeks ago I noticed what seemed to be a startling amount of recession on the right temporal area. I let it go for a few weeks, hoping that it was just my hair growing out funky or something (wishful thinking), but clearly it was an issue. I have since gone back to 1.25mg of finasteride daily and have been on that course for the past 3 weeks.
I've attached photos from this morning in hope that you could give me insight as to 1.)Where I am on the Norwood Scale and 2.) What your opinions are for my prognosis. Thanks for your time!
