Finasteride question

Hello, just wondering what the best treatment plan for a Diffuse thinner would be? Would just Finasteride be a good start, or does finasteride not work for diffuse thinners. Would it be best to try minoxidil and Finasteride?

And how bad is the shed when trying the big 3, is it terrible or different for everyone.. Thanks.

People say I have naturally fine hair, but I really doubt it. When combed it looks thick, if I touch it or run my hands I see scalp again. Just hoping finasteride and min can save this for at least 10 years.

Combed looks fine.

But, I actually am probably diffuse thinning badly.

Its good against androgenic alopecia, if you have male pattern baldness then I would not waste anytime in starting treatments.

Sorry, I can't understand perfectly. You mean don't wait to start finasteride and min.

It looks like male pattern baldness to me I personally would not waste anytime starting treatment the sooner you start the better. I do recommend seeing a derm or qualified doctor/specialist to confirm what looks obvious.

starting treatment typically used
- finasteride 1mg ED
- minoxiidil 2 times daily 5%
- Ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly (nizoral)

OK. I'm seeing one but she can't do scalp biopsy on first visit so have to wait another 4 months to see her after tomorrow's consultation.. She won't be able to confirm if its male pattern baldness with just her eyes unfortunately.. As sooo many other factors it could be, I don't want to take finasteride if it is something else or naturally thin hair

That is fair enough, best of luck!

If finasteride and minoxidil give me sides, am I basically f*ckdd and need to shave or get a hair piece? Transplant is pointless if I can't maintain with pills or min.

man it seems your hair went downhill since your last post here. Are you shedding or anything like that?
No shedding, always been like this for a year if I mess it up.

Taking finasteride this week but not syre if I should pair with minoxidil

Every day for the past year I've been considering taking finasteride but so far no progress in my attitude. Can't tell whether I lost density or not, nor if I have male pattern baldness, if anything.

Mine is virtually the same but it's definitely thinned out. Just cut it so it's easier to see. Just wish someone could see if it's genetic or vitamin d deficiency thinning

You can get minoxidil mixed with finasteride. Use that daily. Dermarolling will multiply the benefits. Don't stress too much, your case isn't bad.
