Hi all, I am on finasteride for the sixth month now, in addition I use minoxidil 2% twice a week. I'd like to ask for your opinions on whether I've made any progress during this time and what else I could add to my regime to improve the effects as much as possible (if there are any).
The last picture shows the center of my head. In general, I noticed the problem with hair loss only on the top of my head and only there I use minoxidil. In the picture, I have marked where I have gotten worse since taking finasteride and using minoxidil. I would like to ask if this is a progression of hair loss or is it due to shedding that I have experienced and if the hair that has fallen out since treatment will grow back. When I see some people after 6 months of treatment on the forum I am under weight. Unfortunately with me the results are not there yet. Therefore I would like you to write if there is a chance of improvement with the regime I currently have.
What I use and how much:
- 1mg finasteride (Nezyr) daily
- Minoxidil 2% twice a week, sometimes with 3-4 depending on the week. Due to longer hair I don't use it at night because I don't wash my head in the morning.
-Biotin 5mg daily
-Vitamin D 4000 IU daily
-Zinc 27mg daily
-Mollers Omega-3 cod liver oil about every other day
I was also taking selenium but blood tests showed an excess and I stopped.
I had shedding in the first and second month of treatment. I was losing between 100 and 300 hairs a day.
Currently I am losing 30 to 50 hairs a day from washing and combing.
I have no other side effects from the treatment.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
