I’m 18 and After 6 Months on Propecia, My Hair Is Miniaturizing Quickly
18, been on Propecia since April. Hairline fine, diffuse thinning in crown when I started Propecia. But since April, my anterior mid scalp has started thinning too at a very quick pace. What should I do? Should I just stay on Propecia and hope for thickening? The shafts themselves are miniaturizing, not shedding.
I’m confused because Merck states ‘3 months to slow’ for Propecia…if anything, loss seems to have accelerated. Should I stay on it? People see ‘1 year to see improvement’, but I’m not sure if that means regrowth or just a stopping of loss.
There is no perfect rule that says a drug will take effect in a certain amount of time for everyone. Most men may respond in a certain time frame, but others may not. Individuals respond differently to medication. Should you stay on it after only 6 months? That’s something you need to talk to your prescribing doctor about.
Wouldn’t your hair have to shed to grow back minituarized? It’s not like individual hair shafts lose density whilst sat there?
Given the rate hair growth takes and the phases of hair dormancy I always wonder how anyone even notices a change in as little as 3 months. I think a lot must be psychological guesswork in the short time frames.
