Signs of regrowth?

[elliotramsey]

Hi everyone, i've been on treatment for about 6 months. I haven't lost a ton of hair, but my temples recessed quite a bit and im pretty sure i was starting to shed in the crown area, though not a lot.

The fact that i still have a good cover of hair makes it really hard to judge regrowth. As a result, i've been feeling my scalp to try and "feel" new growth. When i feel around the areas of my temples, i feel what seems a lot like beard stubble, like what is there recently started to grow.

Likewise, when i do the same thing, especially around my cowlick, i touch what seems like extremely short hairs, that just have that feeling of stubble.

So, is this a good sign? And has anyone experiences this before?

Thanks,

elliot

Could it be miniaturization ? or it could be regrowth.Some pictures would certainly help.If you are shy,try speaking to your derm about it.

I notice the same thing, Im just about 8 months into treatment and have had what seems to be significant regrowth already. The only thing is that I guess why do we assume its regrowth when it can just as easily be our normal hair that is starting growth phase.

I want to believe its new hair but I dont think there's really anyway to tell. Just be excited hair is still growing =)

Very true! =D

I noticed the stubble baby hairs sprouting of new hair, but unless your certain it wasn't there in the first place, it could be further miniturization or new hairs. Either good or really bad.

Well, considering im not really loosing hair anymore, i'd like to think its regrowth!

The feel of stubble is a lot more focused around my hairline. And when feeling the skin around the hairline (e.g. the temples) it feels a lot fuzzier where it wasn't before.

I also have a birthmark that has smaller hairs growing where they weren't before.

So the hairline seems to be strengthening, and maybe some temple regrowth if any
