Hi, i'm an 18 year old that has been experiencing bad hairloss for around a year. The hairloss is aggresive, and around 4-5 months after i first noticed it (noticed some regression on the temples) i figured i might aswell start treating it early so i went to see an dermatologist. After some consultation he subscribed me with propecia. I did not notice any side effects except for some imaginary ones the first couple of weeks. It has now been over 6 months since i started and it feels like the hairloss is continuing at the same speed as before. I never noticed any major shedd and i'm still receding in a quick phase. i went from a Norwood 1 to a Norwood 2 in just a couple of months and i feel like finasteride isn't working for me. I know i shouldn't expect any visual results for about a year since i started the treatment, but shouldn't the hairloss atleast have slowed down by now? I've considered adding minoxidil to my regimen it's just that i don't feel like having a major shedd just before prom and graduation which is in around a month. The hairloss is tearing my confidence apart and i do no longer enjoy any types of social interactions like going out, lifting weights etc. Is there any hope for me? If there's anyone here with a similiar experience i would love for you to reply.
