Insane shedding including baby hairs that never stopped on 1 year of Finasteride

[kennedy123]

I am a 24 year old male with no history of aggressive hair loss in my family. Half Caucasian half asian descent. When my corners started receding at 22 i decided to start finasteride. I dont remember paying attention to hair shedding before but I can say that the shedding has definitely not decreased maybe increased since being on Finasteride for a year. The scariest part is about 2-3 months ago I started seeing way more miniaturized hairs that were shedding. I dont remember seeing so many miniaturized hairs shedding before. Maybe the odd one but not so much. This morning I saw 3 miniaturized hairs on my pillow. I also see a ton of long terminal hairs shedding as well and they shed from the non DHT zones as well. I am confused about what to do. Is this a sign that my hair loss is getting agressive. I am guessing probably so. Also, finasteride maintained or maybe even possibly made my right temple better however the left side has continued to recede on Finasteride so I dont know if it is working. I dont know what to do. Majority of the men in my family are norwood 1s or had hair loss way later in life so I am feeling very unlucky. Does anyone know what this shedding means and how to stop it? Thank you very much.

I attribute this to the fact that we have asymmetry. If we mentally divide the prostate gland into two lobes, there will inevitably be asymmetry. For example, the left side will be larger than the right. And since the prostate gland is androgen-dependent, testosterone passes through it and is converted into DHT. Accordingly, the left side will be balder than the right, since in your case, the left is balder than the right. In my case, this is exactly the case! Before HRT, I felt inflammation in the left lobe of the prostate. After HRT, I no longer feel this inflammation, and new hair has appeared on my bald left spot, although none had grown there before!

Take a look. The left side is actually thinning more than the right. Photo 1 is my left side, photo 2 is my right side. In photo 1, the hair is short and thinning. In photo 2, there is still some long hair.

Yes it does seem to be a common phenomenon. However it is interesting that the finasteride hasnt been able to stop the recession. my left temple was actually less receded however it quickly receded a couple of months ago making it more symmetrical with the right temple. What do you think about the shedding situation that I wrote about?
