Agressive balding at 22-My hairloss story
Hello,
I'm new to the forum and I wanted to tell you about my hair loss journey which started when I was 20. Until that point my hair was pretty dense, absolutely no sign of hair loss, I actually remember a barber commenting on how great and dense hair I got, just a couple of months before I first realized hair loss.
May 2018 was the first time I realized a tiny bit of recession and also a slight reduce in hair density, but it was so minor, that I told to myself it's probably in my head and also when I told my friends they laughed at me. I totally forgot about it for 2 months or so, until I travelled overseas to visit my family for 2 months. During that period, I was finding very often hair strands in my food, but I thought that they are not mine, as I used to find my mother's hair strands in my food since I was a child. When I finally realised it was MY hair I totally freaked out. Meanwhile, my density had gotten much worse by August and I got on finasteride+minoxidil the next day I returned home. I also buzzed my hair at that point.
Now, it turned out I was a pretty good responder and my hairloss had totally stopped by December 2018, like I had to see a hair strand for months at some point. I also had a little bit of regrowth, and my hair looked superb and very dense. Now for some reason, I decided to stop finasteride at April, and 3 months after I had lost a decent amount of hair. Hair kept deteriorating through the summer period(2019), and in August I decided to hop on finasteride again.
This is where the strange parts begins. While I never actually stopped finasteride since then, I wasn't very consistent with it. I was skipping like 2 days a week, and twice I didn't take a single pill for 15 days. Since March though I haven't missed a single dose. At March or April my hair took a very significant hit which I couldn't explained. I mean, there are guys that are taking 0.25mg a day and still have great results. I swear my hair is much much worse than it was in August, when i re-started the regimen. There's something positive though, there isn't hairloss since April, but my hair is already pretty bad, especially for a 22 years old guy.
Last 3 photos are my present condition, while the first 2 are back to when I started finasteride for the first time(September 2018).
What do you think?
