Hello, I have been on finasteride for about seven months with no results whatsoever yet, no shedding, no slowed loss, no regrowth, nothing. Dont get me wrong, I am not giving up on it yet as I will continue to ride it out until the year is up and maybe longer. What has happened though is that my temples (actually the area that used to come to a point in between the top of my ears and my temples has gotten extremely thin on both sides and it looks really stupid when my sides are anything but shaven really close. Its just a triangle of thin, light hair on both sides of my head and then the hair behind it is perfectly dark and thick still. It looks retarded, I have never seen anyone with this pattern as pronounced as mine is. I was thinking of using minoxidil on those parts and keeping it restricted to those parts. Will this cause a shed in the rest of my head if i only use it on temples? Should I wait until the finasteride is done to add to my regimen even if I am only using it on a certain spot on my head? Thanks for any advice guys.
