It's strange for me to be here.I'm 21 and a half and I'm a little scared about my hair. I started losing hair in november last year i think. I read all about hair loss right here and i've decided to start with minoxidil(kirkland 5%) in april 2010. I've applied like 1ml per night and i thouth i was doing just good becouse my hair started looking a little better. i was like a Norwood 1 all my life so in front it wasn't a problem. Just in the crown. I've neglected the hairline so in the past months it was receiding without really noticing. So i've started using the minoxidil there 2 with some partial succes.
In september i've started using generic propecia 0.5 mg per day. And the problem is now, after 1 month, i have a hair full of sebum and at the shower i find like 100-200 hairs + some dark points on my face(never had problem with that kind of thing - perfect face-skin - no acneea in my youth). It's scary. I don't really know what to do. And if before my hair was thin on just my crown now it's thin even on my back and in zones with no hair problem even for a nw7.
To mention: i never had problems with hair growth on my body and i look very young 4 my age. I never had dundruff until now. I don't smoke, drink and i usually eat healthy and sleep like 8 hours/day. My father is a nw6 and was a nw2 till his 30's. His father was a nw5 till he died. And my other grandfather was a nw1 all his life.
I would like to know if i should consider dropping the finasteride or raising the dosage ? I even consider trying dutasteride like 0.25/day.
here are some pics taken from my mobile camera. I don't consider my hair bad if it's not wet. If i could mantain it till i'm 30-35 i would be pleased. Please consider responding to my post becouse i really think i can win this fight.
