My hair was fine this time last year, just a little receded at the front and some general thinning.... Then I started using finasteride for a couple of months.... now my scalp has about 30% thickness! for 6 years I was doing ok on minoxidill and some other products, the hairloss was under control. I have to wear a cap now, the hairs at the lower back, the sides and even my sideburns are still shedding.... I am a wreck!
