    No one can answer that question. Only time knows. Treating hair loss takes time. If you haven't been on Propecia for at least a year, you really don't know much about what is going to happen yet. Focus your energies on other things. Do the things you love to do and try your best not to worry about it.

    Things look normal in those latest pictures too. Hair can feel bristly when shorter, especially around and above the sideburn area where there is a transition between beard hair texture and the texture of the scalp hair.

    There is absolutely nothing going on that should be impacting upon your confidence.

    Ok, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't see any thinning. I don't think Fin affects the hair on the sides and back anyway.

    Another thing to add is the fact that density naturally drops even in non balding people around the sides. I wouldn't worry. People often notice this when they get a short cut such as a 3 on the back and sides.
