    Default Irrefutable Evidence Fin Can Exacerbate Hair Loss

    Fin worked great for me for 7 months. Back in October I started shedding like crazy and it hasn't stopped since. All kinds of people told me a bunch of BS about how late extended sheds are "normal" which is total crap, and heres why. I saw a derm "hair loss specialist" a couple weeks ago (she also did not believe fin can make hair loss worse), and she evaluated my situation. She said in her 20 years of experience shes never seen adverse effects from fin usage...blah blah blah. She gave me a biopsy and sent me on my way. She called me a week later and told me my hair loss was causing scarring. Just an FYI, scar tissue is irreparable damage. So even after roughly 14 months on fin, I am in a contiuous heavy shed with freaking scarring, thanks to everyone who told me to stay the course and wait for the shed to abate, great advice.

    You would lose these hair either way.

    You had nothing to lose, MPB wouldn't just magically stop without the help of Fin

    That sucks man, but blaming fin is misleading and claiming irrefutable evidence is a giant stretch. Sounds like you might have scarring alopecia, did your dermatologist give you a diagnosis? If you do have scarring alopecia then Fin has nothing to do with it; Fin isn't going to cause the formation of scar tissue.
