I’m on the brink of starting Finasteride.
My concern is that because there has been so much diffuse loss and now the hairline so fast that if I don't respond and suffer another shed I’m essentially forcing myself into a cosmetically awful situation.
I listened to six top derms tell me I should wait on propecia and that I was suffering from a Telogen Effluvium.
I am working with the top transplant doctor in the Midwest (Dr. K) now and have been on oral minoxidil only since May. My hairline is now compromised and I’m ready to pull the trigger but I regret the minoxidil because I never got back to baseline after that shed. Still messing with Keto and LLT too.
How would you attack it all over again with Finasteride?
Branded?
Dose?
Oral/Topical?
Hair cut?
Keto?
Minoxidil?
I would really appreciate some experienced perspectives.
