What I thought was propecia shedding was aggressive MPB.

Hi All,

Wish I could post under better circumstances.

I started Propecia in April, as I had significant crown thinning and was advised to start it as I was a 'perfect' candidate, as I was not bald but just had miniaturised hairs on the crown. From the front you couldn't tell I had any MBP.

Within a month of starting it I noticed more hair loss and scalp irritation. By scouring the net I thought it may be a shed. But it hasn't subsided and I have lost all density on top and the quality of my hair all over has deteriorated markedly, especially at the front and temple areas.

I went to see the Consultant again and he said he isn't aware of a propecia shed and that it's probably not working for me but I should stick with it for a year.

Well it's got so bad that I'm going to have to shave or get a buzz-cut.

I keep thinking hoping that it may still be a shed but it doesn't tally with the reality.

I'm worried now that I won't have enough or even any decent donor hair.

I'm not sure what I hoping to achieve with this post. I guess I'm looking for someone who has had similar experience and what my options are.

Thanks in advance.
