    Hello everyone. This is my first time posting. I am 27 years old. The pictures above were taken 2 weeks back. It got worse now. Its falling like crazy. Almost a year back i took propecia (for 3 months) and this foam called Alopel (for 4-5 months).

    From 3 months back i started using minoxidil. My hair shed a lot after 1.5 months of using it. Then it fell at a slower rate for a while. But recently for the last 1 week it is falling like crazy. I feel like my hair became half. Every time i touch my hair, a bunch comes out. When i brush, a bunch comes out and during applying minoxidil it falls like crazy. Thats what the sink looks like and it falls like that all day. I am using Regrow 3% minoxidil at the moment. I don't know what to do. Please help me.

    I started taking Taurine two weeks ago, and noticed that my stress is gone. I take 4 grams a day. Extremely good supplement for hair loss http://www.hairloss-research.org/Upd...Worms3-13.html

    Treatment such as minox and fin is known to create cyclical sheds (especially if ur hair is responding). If you are losing your hair from male pattern baldness your best regimen would be to use the big 3 (minox, fin, nizoral shampoo). Do some research online regarding these treatments and shedding.

    Maybe you should look at PRP treatment, but again i would suggest you consult a doctor first and avoid getting stressed out (i know it is easier said than done). Try some breathing exercises as well.

    Thank you for your suggestions i just went to a dermatologist a few days back and he said i have diffuse alopecia. i hope that is the case because the hair is supposed to grow back. i think using minoxidil caused y hair to get this bad.

    Glad you figured this out and hope it sorts itself out. Seeing a doctor/specialist in person when stuff like this happens is always your best bet. Hopefully you can give an update down the road about any improvements you make and what caused this to begin with.
