Hey guys,
So I started thinning at age 20, diffuse from vertex to hairline. I ended up starting .5 mg of Propecia February of 2013 so it's been almost 2 years now. I believe I have very fine hair to start (my mom does) but the diffuse thinning stopped and even regrew, my hairline has stopped receding (for now) and I am overall very happy with the results. I recently noticed in pictures though that my vertex seems to be thin and it is now worrying me. It even sometimes itches after a while, but that could be in my head.
I know that I am probably far too concerned over this but I just wanted the advice/opinion of people who really know what it's like to deal with this. Here are a couple pictures - the first few are after a long day at work and my hair is quite oily. The last few are after showering. Please let me know if this looks like noticeable thinning, and if so, what the next steps are?
Also, I know that most people on here have probably dealt with a lot worse, but trust me I would be there if I hadn't started the Propecia. I can personally attest to the fact that it can be very effective.
So,
Do I bump up my Propecia to 1mg?
Do I start Rogaine?
Do I wait and just get a transplant once it gets bad?
Thanks!
