Just a little background. I used to have THICK hair. My hairline and everything was perfect, and the past 2 years a couple of differnt people made a comment to me that I was losing my hair. Obviously I can't see the back of my head, so I looked at the front and the sides and thought to myself "WTF are these people smoking?" I definately wasn't losing any hair.
Then, in January, i noticed that my left hairline was thinning rapidly. Then, the top of my head starting thinning a little too. After much research I decided to go on finpecia from inhousepharmacy in late may. I've been taking it for about 1.5 months now, everyday without fail. No change. I had a ball ache for about a day, but besides that, nothing. No side effects, and no improvement. I know you need to give finasteride up to a year without judging its results, so I will keep on taking it. I don't know if the finpecia is fake or not, but that's a story for another day.
Today, I got a haircut. I took a pic of my front and showed it to another forum, and they told me I was a NW1!! I was ecstatic. Then, I took a picture of the back of my head. What I saw SHOCKED the living **** out of me. THIS IS WHY EVERYONE HAS BEEN SAYING IM LOSING MY HAIR! I have posted the two photos below, but I'm shocked right now. What kind of hairloss am I experiencing? Why is the back of my head looking like that if the front is more or less fine besides a little thinning? I have been on propecia for 1.5 months and will continue to take it. Should I add rogaine to the back? OR just ride out propecia for a long time before getting on rogaine? Lastly, will treatments even work for someone like the hairloss Im experiencing?
Thank you guys for reading all of that and feedback is appreciated.
