This site says this on the shedding stickie:
The shedding tends to be fairly symmetrical, but will be more noticeable in the areas affected by male pattern baldness, because there is a higher ratio of hairs in the telogen phase than in the other areas of the scalp.
Is this true. My small bald spot has gotten worse over the past 1.5 years. I was own Propecia for a year, that didn't seem to do anything, and I've been on dutasteride. for six months. I know it's too soon to tell, but could this be why the spot seems to have gotten bigger. it's not even just the spot. The all around it seems ready to go as well. It's so fine.
It seems like the people who have had results have them pretty quick. Or they have thickening the first three months, then a shed, then get better.
I seem to be shedding for all the six months. I started with a ton of hair, I haven't been one of these people who have had some massive frontal shedding or anything, but I'm hoping something happens, and don't necesarily but the whole "shedding is a sign that it's working" mainly because there are so many people who *never* stopped shedding.
I'll always continue cuz I know that I"ll just go bald anyway, but everyone has success on their crown it seems. Why not me? My front is pretty damn good, but my crown is bad. WTF? I can only hope I'm one of these guys who will start growing in months 9 and 10, and from I understand it all happens pretty quick, like 2 weeks.
