Thanks for the reply. I am just worried that i might get reverse hypoandrogenicity or tellugen effluium from finesteride.i have seen a lot of guys in this forum claiming that they got reverse hypoandrogenicity from finesteride. Most of these guys were as young as i am . I do have noticed a slight increase in my libido i don't know if that should be a concern .And also my skin has turned a lot itchy (could also be due to a hotter summer) although unlike them my scalp isnt itching.
Also i had been using minoxidil in my temples for the past 6 months.it didnt help at all , i still receded . Regardless of it since last 20days i started using it on my scalp too as my scalp was losing density.but i am almost certain that minoxidil isnt giving me a shed in scalp cause it never did gave one for my temples.

Could you tell me when did you started to shed(on finesteride) and for how long it went on.

PS: sorry for my english it's my second language

I started minoxidil and finasteride at exactly the same time, so it's hard to know which one caused my shedding. I am approaching ten months on both and can honestly say I have never really stopped shedding, I can only describe it as different degrees of shedding.

From day one to month three - experienced very very heavy shedding. Hair falling out all day and about 40 strands in my hand every time I applied min.

Month three to month five -. Shedding reduced significantly, but still lots of hair falling out all day long and up to 20 strands in my hand each time I apply min. I also experienced significant regrowth during this period.

Month six to eight - shedding began to increase during this period, never reached peak shedding of months one to three, nevertheless was still significant. Although shedding pick-up I never noticed my regrowth took a hit and it continued to look denser as time went on.

Now on month nine my shedding has greatly reduced (again) down to only a few hairs (that I noticed) when applying min. Density also seems to be improving.
