Hey guys,
I am turning 39 y/o soon and in the past year my hair has shed very fast. I had all my hair until I hit 35, then it started to vanish bit by bit, and as it happened, I took small measures to conceal the loss.
Four years ago I started on minoxidil which made my face fat and didnt seem effective. I ended up getting off it after 18 mths. I went on proscar 1mg per day and after about a few months of that I experienced sides (nipple swelling, slight pain). After that my Doctor recommended I get off it. I got off it this summer and the hair started shedding fast. The pics below show my hair wet.
My Doctor noted that my hair loss was in an odd pattern. I have no idea if that's true but it's been changing fast and I think even he'll be surprised by the rapid changes. By strategic combing, I can conceal some of the baldness because the front is still in tact (for the most part). Right now I"m starting back on 1mg proscar despite the sides and hope someone can give me some feedback on the extent of the problem (norwood) and any solutions.
ps. i use nizoral 2% 3x /wk
