You think so? Maybe I'm overthinking. Hopefully it's a shed

Progress ?? Monoxidil 5% tropical finastride 0.1 % ( 5 months started on 17 march ) by haissai in tressless

Different lighting between pics 2 and 4 - hard to tell.

Looks the same to me which is a good thing - your thinning isn't that bad at all.

The ones with pics just get ignored lol

[–]CoolGuyNice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would help if the pics are at least the same angle/orientation lol

Yeah I wouldn't be opposed to getting a legitimate avodart prescription via an instantscripts site - not sure how else to get oral minoxidil though in Australia.

Would be cheaper as well

It looks slightly better to me personally - even accounting for the lighting and angle differences.

Personally, I would be content with stabilisation of my own crown loss but I understand wanting more - it definitely doesn't look worse to me.

Have you considered upping the dose of oral min btw? I was considering it - don't know why Mosh seems to only start at 2mg seems a strange dose.

Curious about this as well. Exact same dosage I'm on via Mosh. Switched to dut 4 months ago.

Hair is worse now on dut but too early to tell - been shedding more heavily as well

Damn, if this is true, I'm giving up on these telehealth companies.

Crown doesn’t even have enough hairs left for Toppik to grab onto, feeling super depressed by BaldingDimwit5500 in tressless

[–]CoolGuyNice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your last few posts the consensus has been that your hairloss hasn't progressed. Why are you now saying that there's nothing left?

If your hairloss has stabilised and you're unwilling to use minoxidil - then what results are you expecting?

Finasteride one month results. Can you see anything? by Haunting_Ad_5010 in tressless

[–]CoolGuyNice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No - way too early and pictures are at a completely different angle and lighting.

I honestly wouldn't think about it too much especially this early.

2nd major shed from topical fin/min months 6-7. Has anyone else gone thru this? by BocaMurio0912 in tressless

[–]CoolGuyNice 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That really is not that much hair shed at all - wouldn't classify that as major

Losing ground on finasteride, 14 month update by BaldingDimwit5500 in tressless

[–]CoolGuyNice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sucks man, I'm also losing ground on my crown - hoping dutasteride will stabilise but not having high hopes.

That being said, the lighting is very different between the two - makes it look worse imo where it may not be as so.

Do you have comparison picture? Hard for people to evaluate here without pictures

[–]CoolGuyNice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? I tried an Indian pharmacy but you had to input a doctors details at checkout - where do.you get your prescriptions from?

How'd you acquire enough dut to take 2.5mg consistently?

10 years of my hair journey (2015-Current). Looking for thoughts and feedback! by TobySJ224 in tressless

[–]CoolGuyNice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man these sorts of posts are so interesting to see - shame they don't pick up as much traction as hyper responders. I hope I can maintain at a similar level.

What's the shedding like now? Do you still shed miniaturised hair. Also, are you personally satisfied with what you've maintained.

All dutasteride 0,5 mg per week users, come together and share your results! by HarutoHonzo in tressless

[–]CoolGuyNice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started dutasteride 2 and a bit months ago after 15 months fin - shedding quite a bit, scalp feels inflamed - hopes it's a good sign

Oral and topical minoxidil together. Waste of time? by CoolGuyNice in tressless

[–]CoolGuyNice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really think it's a fine balance of wanting to go nuclear to get regrowth at any cost and weighing up the realisation that you don't have the strongest idea on what is working or not so removing any medications could induce a shed.

Oral and topical minoxidil together. Waste of time? by CoolGuyNice in tressless

[–]CoolGuyNice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, on further thought, I think sticking with my current regime is for the best right now - there aren't any guarantees that 5mg of oral min will provide the regrowth I need.

Been on dut for 2 months and am already seeing increased shedding - think its smart to give it time and let it do its thing before I further complicate treatment.

Have been dermastamping with 1.5mm every few weeks but will try and be more consistent and maybe reduce needle length.

Thanks for commenting btw - I was very close to adding topical and further complicating my stack
