derm says shedding on PROPECIA is NOT NORMAL? please take a look

my hair is shedding like crazy, currently on my third round of propecia (three months, about week till my 4th). my dermatologist says this is not normal.. I am shedding hair each time I shower and each time I run my hands through my hair numerous hairs come out. I am not sure if I should keep taking it and riding it or stop? I am making an appt to go see her soon.


your thoughts on if I should continue?

I also forgot to mention 2-3 times a week I use Ketoconazole Shampoo 2% and Nizoral any other times I wash my hair that week

I also forgot to mention 2-3 times a week I use Ketoconazole Shampoo 2% and Nizoral any other times I wash my hair that week But I have used this for the first month or two while using propecia and the shedding started two months after I began using propecia

hey man, ive been on Propecia 2 1/3 years, i thought i shed, but apparently it was only noticeable to me. but i think some people do shed like you, i think most derms dont really know to much about hairloss. Mine told me to use rogaine too and i said i was worried about a shed and they said they had never heard of such a thing. Meanwhile it says it right on the directions that come with the crap.

so you use generic keto shampo 3 times a week and Nizoral 4 days a week? Those are the same thing man, your using them way too much. Nizoral is brand name keto shampoo. You should us one or the other 2 times a week tops.

It sounds like a normal Propecia shed to me. You don't make it sound like anything more than that.

I agree derms are not exactly hair loss treatment experts. I honestly never noticed a shed while on any treatment, the only sheds I went through was when I was not using any hair loss treatments. But that doesn't mean sheds aren't normal, I think the majority of finasteride/minoxidil users get sheds.

When I run my hands through my hair or use shampoo, I notice there are white bulbs attached to each hair. Does this say anything?

nope that doesnt mean anything its sebum

dermatologists don't know much about hair loss (especially the female ones). They're only good at treating acne. Such a waste of money. If your scalp is oily, you should shampoo every day. Not twice a week
