M (23) receding hairline

[christophermitchell]

From what I've heard your hair supposedly goes through phases on fin. There'll be times when it's thinner and times where it's thicker. These phases should be temporary and not something to concern yourself over. Your hairline still looks the same as it did previously so that's the main thing!

Thank you jackito for your answer,

So its kind of a tempory shading? Is it because the finasteride loosing his effect?

Another question, is mpb getting stronger with the time? I mean dht should be less present as we age right? Or am i wrong? And dht is not the only thing who is responsible for baldness right?

Again, i apologize for my english, its not my first language.

Thank you

Still using minox on the hairline with finasteride, no more improvement and hair feels thinner than before...

Dont get stressed out. You just need to consult the Dermatologist and take a proper treatment prescribed by him

thanks,
But i think im on the two best medications to fight hairloss, minox ( only on the hairline ) and finasteride. I think im freaking out too much, im just scared to be bald like my uncle's ( two of them are norwood 4, and the other one is like norwood 2.5-3), But my father is a solid norwood 2 at 56 years old. I think my best option is to wait and see if my hairloss is progressing. Eventually i will consider a conservative hair transplant in the future.

I don't see any difference between the two photos. Your hairline looks great.

Hey christophermitchel,

Are you on Propecia or generic finasteride?

Yes, i've been using for 5 years now.

I start with propecia but it was too expensive so i switch for generic finastride.

Hi,

Just wanted to know if theres a difference between my hairline 1 year and few months ago vs now

[christophermitchell]

Not shedding is definitely a very good thing. You don't seem to have much, if any hair loss in the crown area.

That said, you definitely DID regrow vertex hair. I think six months to a year is when it will fall out again.

Best of luck.

Thank you for the reply! I appreciated, I started minoxidil on the crown because i just wanted to prevent but finasteride did the job so far. So the shading start after 6 month?

Hi,

Just litlle update, ive stop using minoxidil on the crown because it was too itchy and i had too much dandruff....however, its been 1 month and a few days that i stoped this product and no sheding. Did i loose my time using this product, or ill see my hair fallout ?

I've been on propecia since 2015 and i wouldn't worry too much about your crown, like everyone BALDS there. You wont find anyone above 20+ without a little balding in the crown area.

Balding on the crown?

I started with propecia, I took the medication for 2 years but it was too expensive so I switched for finasteride 1/4 for 1 year and few months... I'm on it for 3 years and few months, never had problems with it. At first I was scared but you dont have to. Everybody is reacting differently to this medication, you gotta try to see how it goes
