I've been on propecia and rogaine for over 4 years. I'm 23 years old, I live a healthy and active life style other than drink with friends on the weekends. I have a unique shade of red hair and brown eyebrows (born with it). My hair loss really started to worsen however, about 1.5 years ago. I had been using rogaine, propecia, and a laser comb (on and off) since the very onset of recognizing any form of hair loss 4 years ago. No one had ever even known i was on it, my hair looked perfect. Now my hair is thinning in the back of my neck, the hair texture has changed around my ears, and it seems everywhere i apply rogaine is where i'm losing hair. about 3 months back i noticed i had nipple discharge. looked it up and read it happened to some people, i didnt even recognize until about a day ago that propecia can cause this and according to everything i've read it seems like i might be Fu***d.
So now i have two problems. Obviously this stuff isn't working for my hair and i may have male breast cancer. Pretty pumped...
I've checked for some of the other symptoms of breast cancer and I don't think I have them. I'm going to call a doctor tomorrow and I'm not even sure what kind of doctor to call.
Also I don't want to lose my hair, I don't understand how I could be taking all this stuff religiously for 4 years and it seems like its the cause of my hair loss. I'm not sure what to do in regards to still trying to prevent further loss.
I've followed various forums for years and always tried to understand the various aspects of hair loss. with that being said i don't have a clue what to do.
I could use some really helpful advice right about now fellas.
Thanks a bunch,
Kevin
