    Unhappy Minoxildil 2nd shed ?? HELP PLEASR

    Hi guys, I am 25 this year and facing vertex balding issue. Been on minoxidil and 0.5 propecia every alternate day for the past 6 months !

    Everything was going well till the last week where I noticed 6-7 strands of hair on my hand when I am applying minoxidil ! It had been happening for the past 1 week whenever I apply minoxidil.

    So today I decided to start counting the number of hair lost during shower as well, and to my shock 55 strands of hair had been lost througout the shampooing process ! In total, I estimate that I am losing around 120 - 150 hair per day !


    Any advice guys ? Should I start taking propecia 1mg daily as per prescription ? will my hair grow back again ? It is really bothering me again.

    Normal to go through shed with minoxidil. No benefit to taking propecia daily. Does it look any different? Just be patient and should come back and stop counting.
