Questions about the Sticky and Causes of a Propecia shed?

[killbill123]

Reading the shed sticky, I was a bit confused. Is the 11-16th week Propecia shed caused by Telogen Effluvium or is it caused by hairs coming out of telogen and into anagen? I've read it a couple of times and it seems to suggest both or either.

I'm at 3 months on Propecia today. Front has thinned a good amount, but I am losing hair from all over. My crown is still fine. A bald spot the size of a pinky nail. I know all hair loss treatments are hit and miss for the front, so I'll really be pissed if Propecia caused this accelerated frontal loss and it won't come back.

nothing? no comment from the authors of the sticky to clarify? bump

The problem with shedding is that no one really knows
what's happening right now. If you are on propecia chances are good the process will stabilize. If it's too aggressive it could take some time.
Anyway on propecia you will not be losing that much like
without.

Good luck mate.

The frontal area takes the longest to see results. Still way too early. I would consider adding minoxidil if you want to kick it up a notch.
