    Been on Fin for 4 months but hairline looks slightly worse, should I be worried?

    Could use some reassurance, right hairline is fine, might even be growing down but my left corner seems to have thinned a bit. I shaved my head about 2 months into finasteride so perhaps I just had a shed that I didn't see and I'm just seeing what it looks like without all the vellus hairs? It also could be because I wore my hair long prior to shaving it so it may have covered the thinning in a way that I can see now since my hair is so short. What are your guy's thoughts? Did any fin users out there experience the same? Did it get better?

      Fin takes a little over a year to take full effect so don't give up. Also, by that point it will be hard to reverse damage and will simply dramatically reduce hair loss but still not permanent solution. I'd suggestion start researching FUE hair transplant now (leaves no scar) and saving up/ going on payment plan.

      You're certainly on the right track though, finasteride is 1 of the best decisions you could have made, don't give up!

      I didn't. And got the procedure after doing a ton of research.. And well. Best decision of my life!

          Dont want to jinx myself but it's much better. Like I can slick my hair back and it looks good.

            That's nice to hear...did you experience any scalp itch where your hair thinned initially?
