KING- diffuse thinning ( 2MONTH UPDATE ON PROPECIA)

[king-]

well heres some pics from 2 months i dont see a diff at all ( im going through diffuse thinning )

THIS ONE IS WITH FLASH

QUESTION IS I HAVE LITTLE BALD SPOTS BECAUSE OF THE DIFFUSE THINNING SO IS IT TO EARLY TO JUDGE OF 2 MONTHS ON PROPECIA AND NIZORAL?

Wait 6 months then assess.

Diffuse thinners usually respond well to treatments and you have caught it early so you should expect good results. Also you have a good head shape and look good with a shaved head. Don't worry about hair loss.

thanks ill def give it time and wait for improvement

anyone else?

king, I'm not sure if you're actually thinning. But the buzzed hair might be playing a factor.

Me, like you, have been on finasteride+nizoral only (3 months). Haven't seen visible gains yet, but because of going through a minor shed (I think?) where I'm seeing way more shorter and weaker hairs shed rather than longer hairs, I'm also going to assess at 6 months, and then a year. If things stabilize at that time, I'll add a minoxidil product.

So, conclusion: wait more. I'm in the same boat as you, and at least you look like your head's shape fits a buzzed cut.

getting more diffused spots

finasteride is not a miracle drug. In most cases its for maintenance. I dont understand why poeple here always go on about waiting to see regrowth. If you are keeping what you have consider it a success.

it dosnt look like im keeping what i have, there seems to be a lot new diffuse thin bald spots around my head

Sounds like you're shedding buddy. I wouldn't worry about it right now. I know that's easy for me to say but trust me. It's within your best interests to ride it out and give it at LEAST 6 months...I'd say 12 to be fair. Given the rate at which hair cycles some people don't see improvement until 10-12 months after starting finasteride. I shed a lot within my first 6 months and then from 6-10 the shedding slowed and I started to see some significant regrowth at about 12 months. So hang in there, it really is different for everybody.

nearly 3 months i shaved my head today again and wow more diffuse spots , is the propecia doing this cause f*** it looks bad , im guessing it will look almost the same on camera but in person its a diff story .............anyways heres the pics taken like 15min ago

 

[king-]

and if you compare these recent pics with the other ones i posted on top my hairline went a bit back

Got to give it more time, I didn't see the results I wanted to see in till after six months.

understand but im getting more diffuse spots

its hard

I know it sucks dude, I have been through sheds where I thought I was losing ground fast but it came back. Right now I am having another hefty shed at 9 months but I think it will come back. If I had success at 6 months why wouldn't I still at nine months?

Think of it as learning to develop patience.

Also you do not need minoxidil, between the two of us, I need the minoxidil more than you.

Well when I started using fina, my hair got worse for like 3 months. Then it stabilized. I mean just keep using it, your hair wont get any worse or something (not worse then when you wouldnt have used anything). I mean I think your now getting rid of all your weak hairs. If not, no harm done, just lost money on it (and it sucks that it doesnt help).

It was stable for for ehm well from about januari to november, then I started with the minoxidil as u know...I think with a bit luck youll end up just like me, your hair getting nice and thick, and no more real noticable thinning. Your hairline is nice I think, some receiding looks good, gives a 'sharp' look (dunno how to say in English)...wait it out man.

UPDATE!!!!!

im on month 3 and 5 days


its official my diffuse thinning has gone worse sooo bad, way moree diffuse spots then the pics i posted i mean a lot , im still having a buzzcut though , i know some people might say its a shed but f*** i dont know if it is or isnt i know 1 thing for sure its a lot worse then these pics , and with diffuse thinning you cant even notice much on pictures , i dont know wether to drop it or not or add minoxidil

 

[icdalite]

If you're going to add minoxidil then be prepared for more sheds and atleast 6 months (average time) before you see any results.

Its far more easier to know if finasteride is working if you wait for another 6 months. If you start minoxidil now u won;t know if finasteride has started working as some new hairs that u are to possibly gain in the coming months will shed due to minoxidil
