This young man used just finasteride and microneedling for two months and got good results on his hair growth.
This is a nice result from taking finasteride and minoxidil for just 3 months. This patient is obviously very responsive to reversal of hair loss.
This patient had a hairline lowering procedure. The scar is a complication of this type of surgery, especially when the wound is placed under tension. To avoid this, a low tension closure is critical but this often limits how much the hairline can be lowered. A hair transplant lowering surgeon, of course, does not have this problem. To correct this, a hair transplant should be done in front of the hairline to bury the scar so it can’t be seen. There seems to be enough room for hair grafts to make such a surgery successful. IF the scar still shows after the hair transplant, Scalp Micopigmentation will work well to camouflage it.
It is not normal. It could be from finasteride or many other causes are possible but if you just started the drug and developed testicular pain, the two are probably linked. See your physician who prescribed you the finasteride and then decisions should be made about continuing the drug if it is the cause of the testicular pain.

Great result with finasteride at reversing the right corner recession shown well in these photos
Remarkable results from finasteride in just 4.5 months. This young man must have been very sensitive to finasteride
Excellent responder to the minoxidil and finasteride combination. Keep it up and stay on it and you will only get better.
These are miniaturized hairs that will almost certainly respond to (1) finasteride (2) minoxidil and even (3) microneedling.
The crown often gets good results from minoxidil as shown in these photos 3 months apart
I’m sure my hair loss is mpb but it’s going so fast, like a few days ago I could comb my hair to hide receding hairline now I can’t. All the hair falling is long healthy looking hair, not small or thin. Can extreme stress be causing mor than normal hair loss? If I can get back to normal state can it be reversed partially at least? My father also have hair loss but his started at 35 and is not too bad, at 55 he is Norwood 5. I’m 28 and Norwood 3 at the moment. I’m anxious since I was 14. Lots of stress at 22-23 when my hair started to fall but wasn’t noticeable until 25-26 Then it went too fast. My stress level also progressed with time I’m in 24/7 extreme stress now.
In men who have genetic balding, stress often brings it on earlier if the stress is significant in your life. You will know it is genetic because the hair loss will appear in a pattern typical of male patterned hair loss.

I have these bumps on my recipient area. I had the surgery 6 weeks ago and these bumps seem to stick around. I asked my doctor about it and he said not to worry, they would go away. What do you think?
This is classic cobblestonning, something we used to see a great deal when the grafts were larger. These grafts were not placed flush with the skin so they healed elevated with this cobbling just like a cobble stoned street of the old days. This may or many not go away. There is nothing you can do about this. I never allow my grafts to be placed above the surface of the skin so I never get cobbling. The arrow on the picture on the left, shows elevation of the grafts from the flat forehead, a classic cobbling effect.
from the reports, the answer is yes! I suspect that you would have had to have experienced sexual side effects for some time for this to happen to you. There is still doubt in the medical community that this syndrome may not be real. I have no opinion one way or the other
We have reported on this before many times, see here: https://baldingblog.com/?s=balding+heart+disease
Now another recent article expands upon these reports see here: https://www.cidjournal.com/article/S0738-081X(17)30166-9/fulltext#%20
I’ve been a lurker for awhile and have learned a lot of helpful info from this community. I’ve been dealing with baldness since around high school, when I noticed my hairline receding. I experimented with Rogaine and Propecia and was able to keep density and restore my hairline somewhat, but out of fear of impotence and such I retired the meds and have my hopes on one day getting a hair transplant.
Now more than 10 years later, my hairloss has progressed and I’ve been forced to buzz my head constantly with more hairline recession and thinning at the crown. I’m not sure when I’ll be ready to make the hair transplant jump, but have been recently looking more into SMP, since I already keep a buzzcut.
My question is, if I were to go ahead and get SMP done, while still hoping to get a hair transplant in the future as hair thinning continues, will the SMP procedure complicate a future transplant or ruin candidacy? Is it worth to spend money on both? Ideally would love to have a head full of hair again.
You can do Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) and then down the road, if you need a hair transplant you can still do it. Be sure that you find a medical group that does both so that they have experience with it like we do. Your strategy sounds good to me. Look at our website: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/
