Propecia + nizoral 2% Regrowth Question.

[riotboy123]

I've been on propecia for 4-5 months now and use nizoral 2% everyday for the most part.

I inspect my hair every now and again and feel that there is something going on in my corners. I think the hairs are longer and appear to be thicker.. not sure if there is actually more hair growing though.

Anyways, my question may not be able to be answered but it's worth a shot. My hair is thinning on the top of my head and my corners are somewhat high but since my hair is longish- it's hard to see if there is anything growing or any action at all on the top area of my head. It always looks pretty bad to me. The other day i checked out my corners and saw a new hair that wasnt there a couple of weeks ago. It's about an inch and very light(my hair is naturally dark blonde). It's towards the corner and is placed where my hairline would be if my hairline was perfect. It's just kind of out there on it's own. I also have some very light fuzz (you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely) growing at the very edge of my hairline which if it keeps on growing will probably meet up with the solitude hair.

now, if i have this new solitude hair in the corner and believe my corners are getting a bit better overall - is it safe to assume that that top area of my head would also be growing or thickening up? While having corners fill in wold be great-- it's the top of my head i'm most concerned about.

any input would be great. thanks.

I think for most people finasteride+nizoral fills in the top better than the front so i
think you can assume the top is filling in also.

I think it's a great idea to take pictures of your scalp if you can. It's
great to see new growth and helps you keep at it.

A little bit of an update.

that solitude hair on the corner is still there. But i *think* i see more hairs coming down to meet up with it. It's just peach fuzz right now.. but if it keeps going like this i might be able to get my hairline back.. which would be amazing. What I perceive to be new hairs are not thick (in quantity) by any means.. but they are mixed in with my longer hairs so it's a bit hard to tell. I sent a pic to my friend and they believe they could see a difference as they said 'you were almost totally bald in the corners'. The right corner looks to be filling in too.. but at a much slower pace. Is it normal for them to come in at different times? I assume so?

The part that is bugging me is i still can't tell if the top is filling in. Again, not totally bald on top -- but it's clearly thinner. The top is still my biggest concern. having my corners fill in would be great but it would be so much better if the top was thicker.

What are the chances these peachfuzz hairs will grow? Some of the peachfuzz seems to be getting thicker and darker.. but are still very short.. about half an inch.

No pics to post.. sorry. can't do it.
