Hi There
I am 25 Years old, turning 26 in May. Around July last year I’ve noticed increased hair loss. All of sudden there were hairs on my desk at work, on my pillow and of course during showering.
I went to see my doctor in November. He took some blood and checked iron levels and my thyroid. Nothing out of the order there. So he sent me to a dermatologist. He told me it was MPB. I can hardly accept this, since nobody was bald / turning bald at that age in my family. My Dad turned 60 and still has quite a lot hair, he has visible temples and of course not a hairline like he was 25, but still in pretty good shape for his age I suppose. My brother is two years older and has perfect hairs, but also quite different hairs (color and structure). Whatsoever, my doctor told there was fin and minox. So I decided to start fin just to maintain what I had - what was and still is quite a full head of hair. Except for the temples. I guess I am a 1.5 now and also was back then, but quite a lot thinner.
I've been on fin since December 20th. After three months, the itching on my scalp started. So I went to see my doctor again and he prescribed me lur shampoo (20 mg ket) which I am using 3 times a week. But the itching is not really better until now. However, the last few weeks the hair loss has increased dramatically. I've been on fin now more or less 4 months. Last week I counted them:
During the shower: Hard to tell, but quite a few. They go down the drain…
After the shower I rub my hair twice with a towel and counted the hairs in the towel, around 180 hairs.
After that I go through my hairs with my hand up to 10 times and there are easily another 120 hairs. Then, during the day, there are still hairs on my shoulder and on my desk all the time... I guess I am around 350 - 450 hairs a day. This being on fin and ket shampoo. It’s kind of scary. I know that it is supposed to be a good sign to shed, but so many hairs? And it is not only short hairs, all kind of hairs...
Did anyone else experience such an increased hair loss at month 4? Also, before that fin did not slow down the hair loss, it was about the same around 150 – 200 hairs / day. And I am using mepha procapil 1g / day. The expensiv stuff..
Thanks for any answers… And sorry for any mistakes – English is not my native language.

No white bulbs, or not large ones. If I remember right, there were larger of those before starting fin. TE could be possible I suppose... But as soon as my body gets used to the change it should pass and the hairs should grow again? How did it work out for you, still no regrowth? Are you on fin or anything else? Does the dorm have a possibility to confirm TE?
