Been on proscar for 7 months. Generally have thick hair.
I wanted to know what is normal and abnormal shedding. This is driving me insane because I do not know what normal shedding is. It seems like I shed hairs around my donor area (non mpb) just like any other area..but I seem to shed diffusely. While shampooing, I notice around 5-10 or so hairs on my hands, and probably 5 loose hairs sitting on my scalp. When I comb my hair, I am getting 15-20 hairs and it stops, usually the number is half of that if i properly get loose hairs out of my scalp daily. Is this a sign that propecia isnt working for me?
How is proscar working for me when I continue to lose about 20-50 hairs a day. I know they say losing 100 hairs per day is normal, but Its hard to believe.
I will consider a HT to fill in the thinning area..but I dont know if I should even proceed with that because Im unsure if the medication is working? Can you shed some light on this please?
