Hello everyone,
I have been experiencing gradual hairloss (thinning) for about 3 years now. I have neglected any treatments up until a few months ago. So far my regimen is as follows:
Nizoral 3x wk (since october)
Minoxidil 1ml 2x daily (since december)
Finasteride 1.25 mg daily (since Feb 1).
I was thinking about adding S5 cream into my regimen to help speed up hair thickening and I was wondering the following:
If I were to experience any side effects from finasteride in the future, would I have any noticeable hair loss even if I continued the s5 cream? S5 cream is said to be just as effective as finasteride as a DHT blocker, so wouldn't that negate any hair loss from my stopping finasteride?
If it helps, I'm a physically active male (I exercise 6 times a week) and I'm in the 18-24 age bracket.
I don't have any pictures of my hair, but it's only very noticeable in the crown under bright lights and can be easily covered up with a few sprinkles of Toppik. The rest of my head is also thin, but not as much as the crown. I have had some recession in my temples, but it's more of a maturation than recession.
Thanks again for any input you have.
