Finasteride losing effectiveness after 17 months, building up tolerance or what? (Blood Tests)

Of course, I know my miserable fate… I can’t deny that… I am losing some hairs in my other parts of my body but not something out of the ordinary loss. Most of them ofc they are in the telogen phase like my shedded hair from my head.Unfortunately, you just have very aggressive male pattern baldness. If you are losing hair all over your body, I would say alopecia aerata.
I think both Retrograde+DUPA…Retrograde maybe
Like I said, I will wait for my blood tests as well. I am hoping for some hints from them. It definitely looks weird.This kind of alopecia looks weird to me. Have you tried any topical AA? If that doesn't work, you should def check your case with a trichologist.
Alopecia areata can also be defuse.I ve had it in 2017 and i lost my hair above my ears within 2 weeks.I also had it on the top but it was defuse.(Dermatologist diagnosis)It was horrible.I recovered within a year.It looked similar to his.Unfortunately, you just have very aggressive male pattern baldness.

For me, it seems it got triggered suddenly somehow. That’s was not my hair quality when Finasteride was working the best for me. All my hairs across my scalp were thicker.Alopecia areata can also be defuse.I ve had it in 2017 and i lost my hair above my ears within 2 weeks.I also had it on the top but it was defuse.(Dermatologist diagnosis)It was horrible.I recovered within a year.It looked similar to his.
Yes it happens suddenly,especially after severe emotional distress-in my case-.Clobetasol propionate is a must for you now.But first get a diagnosis asap.If you have that,be calm, you will recover your hairFor me, it seems it got triggered suddenly somehow.

Yeah man there is something weird with your hair loss. Do you also have itching, aches or something? In my case I have itchiness, oily hair and skin, suddently acne on some parts of the scalp and face and terrible scalp aches(I can't even touch my scalp, it hurts like hell sometimes).For me, it seems it got triggered suddenly somehow.

How long did you use it? I am considering to use it topically because I have terrible scalp aches...Yes it happens suddenly,especially after severe emotional distress-in my case-.Clobetasol propionate is a must for you now.But first get a diagnosis asap.
I thought about autoimmune too. I don’t know. I hope blood tests shed some light.Yes it happens suddenly,especially after severe emotional distress-in my case-.Clobetasol propionate is a must for you now.But first get a diagnosis asap.
Some itchiness in my donor. Rarely, though. Fortunately, I am not experiencing oily hair, skin, and acne.Yeah man there is something weird with your hair loss.

It might not be only Androgenic Alopecia then. My case is 100% Androgenic alopecia because I look disgusting. I also have to take shower at the end of the day cause I smell kind of bad at nights and I don't even work out...... I have to take shower daily no matter what I do. My hormones are not only f*****g up my hair, but my whole appareance.Some itchiness in my donor. Rarely, though. Fortunately, I am not experiencing oily hair, skin, and acne.
I will try everything that I can. I can’t go back to this curse… I hate to see these pictures.
@Adri23 Well, you say so! Check above.. 17/18 years old.
Holy sh*t man, that looks so bad... If you really want to improve that, you should try topica AA after your blood tests and find another causes if there is any. Do you also use oral minoxidil?

For me it started on 7/4/2017.I ve lost all my hair above my ears and defuse thinning on top.I looked like a dog.People at work thought i was dying.I used it for a year.I recovered after 11 months.I ve had itchiness before my hair started falling.Calcipotriene cream is useful as well.Dont wait,time is of the essence here.Blood tests will tell you nothing for thatHow long did you use it? I am considering to use it topically because I have terrible scalp aches...
My treatment of topical minoxidil+Topical finasteride+ Oral finasteride was working so well. I said it here. A miracle. I got a miracle. I know that it won’t last long, but I wasn’t expecting so fast. Without any treatments, ended. I am 100% glad that I took the treatments, and I will ever be.Holy sh*t man, that looks so bad...

Can you use corticosteroids for a whole year? I know my hair loss is due to androgenetic alopecia so corticosteroids are only gonna help with scalp aches, so I don't know if 1 year would be necessary.For me it started on 7/4/2017.I ve lost all my hair above my ears and defuse thinning on top.I looked like a dog.People at work thought i was dying.I used it for a year.I recovered after 11 months.I ve had itchiness before my hair started falling.Calcipotriene cream is useful as well.Dont wait,time is of the essence here
Maybe try oral minoxidil? All the regrowth I got was from oral minoxidil.My treatment of topical minoxidil+Topical finasteride+ Oral finasteride was working so well. I said it here. A miracle.

I will try to enhance my topical with tretinoin. I was so lucky and I responded pretty good to topical (trichotest confirmed that too). However, at the 9 month mark I was difussing again rapidly. Then, I started topical Finasteride+ Finasteride, and I was able to recover a lot of ground.Maybe try oral minoxidil? All the regrowth I got was from oral minoxidil.
Just to know. Why wouldn't you try oral now that nothing is working? Are you scare of side effects?I will try to enhance my topical with tretinoin.
