Regrowth with finasteride and Ketoconazole 2,5 months

Hello fellow members!
i'm a man 32 years old, always had a lot of hair until i turned 28. That was the first time i became aware of my temples getting a bit diffuse (not to bad) but bad enough for a vain man like me. A few years later i noticed my crown was thinning as well, and panicked!!
I was looking for "the cure" online, everything from oils, supplements, laser, PRP, sawpalmetto, Biotin, and every other vitamin out there.
was hoping that this problem was due to a low intake of vitamines and that everything would grow back to normal again if i only could find the right potion :D
where eating high doses of saw palmetto for a year with absolutely 0 result.

Two months ago i decided to take the huge step and visit the doctor to ask for finastride 5mg.
I was so nervous and a bit ashamed over my problem, i made a big deal out of it, it took me a few months to actually pick up the phone and book the appointment.
After leaving the doctors office i was reliefed and filled with joy. The doctor was real nice and understod my problem sins he was extremely bald him self.

Opened the box of gen finasteride 5mg and found small round pills that i cut in to 4, (1,25mg each night)
A few moments after digesting the tiny pill i felt a bit foggy like after a glas of vine, and my stomach was making growling noises the first week of taking it.
I think the body have to get used to the drug, now 2,5 months later i got no sides.

To the good stuff!
Now i lose a normal amount of hair every day. Used to find hair every where. Could not have a carpet on the flor because in a few days it would be full of blond hairs, i would always clog the bathroom sink where ever i lived and so on.

Month 1= not much
Month 2= less fall and some regrowth, i call the new growth Rod Stewart sins the new 1 cm hair is sticking strait up :D
month 2,5= The new hair is everywhere and is growing longer and thicker (some of the are dark) my hairline has filled in real nice and is full of new hair about 1cm lower than before. cant wait to fast forward a few months from now.

BTW only use finasteride 1,25mg each day
+ MSM and biotine and keto shampoo 2mg two times a week.


Will keep you updated with photos ones a month so you can follow my progress.

I know it might not look that bad but i'm happy i started Finastride and Ketokonazole in time. BTW my family history look like this.
Mother- thick hair.
Father- very thick hair, perfect hairline.
Mothers mother- 85 years old and fine but thick hair, her father was slick bald on top.
Mothers father- slick bald on top sins he was in his 20s.
Fathers mother- extremely thick hair.
Fathers father- extremely thick hair.

Look like i got a mix the hair genes, i got thick corse hair just like on my fathers side, but i got the male pattern baldness from my mothers side.

*A question* Are the new hair on my scalp going to grow like the rest of my hair or are they going to shed and remain this length??

I envy you. I am using finasteride for 2 months now, and I have lost much much more hair than before finasteride. I shed like crazy. So horrible. :(

Sorry to hear that DDobler! stick with it, shed is a good sign that something is happening with your hair.
I guess i was lucky to not get or not noticing any major shed.

Most people get results after 4-6 months.

I am glad this is working for you, I am also 28 and I am afraid that if I wait much longer to see a doctor I will regret it. Let me ask you what type of Doctor should I schedule an appointment with? Primary Care Physician, Dermatologist? Etc

Hey Cubanborn87
I just went to a normal doctor and asked for Finastride 5 mg, some doctors wont give you 5mg because 5mg finastride is made for prostate cancer but if you split the pill in to 4 = 1,25mg its just the same as taking Propecia 1mg just allot less expensive. You could go to a tricholog/hair specialist if your doctor want prescribe finastride.

Good luck!

Here comes an update as I promised.
I have used finastride and keto schampoo from Sep 17th to Dec 28th.
I can clearly see a difference in density and I got new growth in the hairline as you can see in the pictures.
What do you guys think.

Looks awesome, I am really pleased for you

So glad i never started using minoxidil, Way to sticky and oily, never got the point of having hair if it is looking like **** because of the minoxidil you have to apply 2 a day.
It's possible that minoxidil can grow hair faster because of blod flow..but there is better ways like yoga headstands and derma roller???

Im a living proof that Finastride can grow hair on crown and hairline.

This is amazing Christina berg! Hairline results are so nice to see as well. I myself am taking just Avodart and would hate to use this Minoxidil greasy crap. Seems like such an old gross method. I have most my hair but my hairline at 25 is thinning so I think Dutasteride should be good on its own.

I have only been on it for 3 weeks. I figured I may as well use the best tool out there that still has a good safety profile even if there are a few question marks. A doctor I spoke to said that it is much better at regrowth than Finasteride.
