Hi there,
So here's some photos three months into my treatment. I don't have any photos taken before I started however you can see a lot of the hairs growing around my temple area. I use (prescribed by Dr. Robert Jones) 12%minoxidil applied before bed daily (Liquid roughly 1ml), Proscar cut into 4 - 1.25 mg and nizoral 2% 3 times weekly.
I'm 24yrs old. I am thinning .... At least I think so around my temples and just over the temple (on top) feels thinner then it did. What scares me is my older brother has shed a lot of his hair away. He is diffused I believe and takes after my mothers side. But I feel I take more after my father which at 58 years old now has thinned out hair and a circle pattern at the back but still hair that looks alright grown out. (not where I want to be by his age but still!) My biggest question is I think I caught it early ... if this being true do I have to worry about my hair turning out like my older brothers? The Doctor who prescribe me the treatment said If I stuck with it I would never go bald ...... Is this a good possibility?
What I've notice over the first three months. I no longer loose any hairs ... I had a bit of a shed in month two 30-40 after shower.... But now I only see 2-3 hairs in my hands after shampooing and pretty much none in my towel after drying it. And a bunch of tiny hairs coming in around my hairline. I plan to stick with it forever. I play in a rock band as the lead singer and my hair is important for the whole image of the band. I have experienced no side effects a side from minor ball ache.
Would like to thank this forum and other for giving me the inspiration to go forward with my treatment and great advice to put my worried mind a little more at ease.
I'll be posting more pictures after 6 months. And maybe a shot of my hair out of the shower wet. Let me know what you guys think!
Cheers
