    Default 24yr old male, on propecia for 3 1/2-4 1/2 months, thinning rapidly

    Hi all,

    I'm a 24 year old male and over the past eight months ive noticed my hair is thinning rapidly. More specifically it is going through miniturization very rapidly. When I look at some of the hairs falling out recently they are pretty thick at the tips but very thin at the roots.

    My hair is maybe 2 inches long or so give or take a bit.

    For a while I had been using minodoxil 2% off and on, but only at nighttime for maybe a year to six months? This would be somewhat infrequent though.

    I'm on propecia now for about my 4th months (possibly coming close to fifth month) but i am still noticing some shedding. but havnt noticed any regrowth of any kind.

    I guess my main question is, could my scalp be more sensitive to dht now that ive used minodoxil for a while and stopped it completely? i stopped it around the eight months or so ago.

    Wouldnt propecia have stopped further miniturization of hair shafts that were already starting miniturization? im still seeing hair shafts shrink more and more each month or so i go to get my hair cut.


    this is really frustrating. my hair was reasonably thick about eight months ago. now it's getting very very thin.
