7 months of shedding.. No regrowth
I'm pretty much suicidal at this point. Went on propecia 1 year 7 months ago to stay ahead of receding hairline. Before that, was on rogaine foam, then lipogaine, then switched to liquid minox about two months before propecia..
I experienced no shed during propecia, but had like every side that eventually went away.. My hair was fine. Come November, I got weird shooting pains in the left side of my head.. Then a MASSIVE shed hit me.. My hair follicles felt like they were stinging, burning, etc. couldn't even wear a hat because my head felt so inflamed. I visited transplant docs, derms, and general practitioners.. I was advised to come off minoxidil because I had a LOT of dandruff and my hair line where applied it was very irritated.
It's been 7 months and I've been steadily shedding hair.. Not the massive shed, but shedding to a point of no regrowth and now I'm thinning.. I wasn't ever thinning and that's not even a pattern of loss in my family. Dad has AMAZING HAIR, moms side has receding hairlines.
I can't even run my hand through my hair without getting like three hairs.. So either propecia is just having an adverse effect on me, or I'm just f*****...
I don't need anyone telling me to try dutasteride because in the back of my mind, I have a feeling fun caused this.. I definitely have seb derm now because my scalp was so oily and I couldn't eat certain foods.. I had a beer during this and it felt like spots on my head were bruised right after a few sips..
Bottom line here, minox prob didn't mess me up, finasteride probably screwed my hormones and caused all of this.
