    Default Continuous shed on fin lasting over a year

    I was using fin with great results for seven months when the burning/itching began. Unfortunately for myself, a severe shed began concurrently with the itching and has not stopped for over a year (19 months on fin total). I have tried everything inlcuding fin, dut, RU, biotin, nizoral, fish oil, maxihair, curcuramin, resveratrol, etc. and nothing has stopped it. I recently ceased all fin usage as I the intense shedding lasted over a year. I saw a derm back in march and she took a biopsy, it seems I am developing scar tissue. If you have this type of reaction on fin, try stopping it earlier to see if the itch goes away, i believe the itching is the bodies inflammatory response to the destruction of our hair follicles.

    Not sure why the drug stopped working for me, my best guess is that my follicles became sensitive to testosterrone or there was a severe increase in androgen receptors.

    My most recent labs right before stopping fin were:
    DHT: 20.8 ref: 106-719
    Estradiol: 35 ref: 35-42
    Test.: 494.5 ref: 249-836

    I never documented loss w/pics but my story and hair is the exact same as alex82 in this link http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=9345
