Yeah mine is an idiot. Tells me i need certain brand minoxidil, multivitamins, and that he's been prescribing finasteride for 30 years! Haha. Most of these bozos know sh*t, and forget about gp's.Yes there are several tests they can do. Try someone specialized in hair, dermatologists usually do not know sh1t
yeah that's what i meant. Look at your old pictures, compare them to new, and go from there. I am 36 years old- and I had to push to get finasteride- and I was bald as f***. So if you think and see you're losing hair- now is the time.did you mean stop the shedding by ‘stop the bleeding’? I usually don’t bleed on my scalp, unless my dandruff is really severe and I scratch it.
As for finasteride, I can already get a prescription for it, the thing is that I haven’t been diagnosed with male pattern baldness by anyone so I don’t want to take it, in case it just makes my telogen effluvium shed worse.
well you're in the wrong place. showing a few pictures of dubious quality and no before pictures and no family history and not even your current etc, is going to make that impossible to get educated opinions.Youre right but I don’t know whether I should trust doctors/dermatologists who claim I have telogen effluvium or if I have early male pattern baldness. Finasteride doesnt work on people with telogen effluvium, and can actually make shedding worse for them. Thats why I wanted to know for sure if it was telogen effluvium I had, or early male pattern baldness.
