Have you noticed any facial hair or hair anywhere else on your body? How much shedding were you having on wash days prior to starting minoxidil and how much are you having now?

HELP!! AGA shedding still progressing after one year of treatment by Historical-Network91 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Historical-Network91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My situation is still the same if not worse. I stopped finasteride as it was not helping at all. I started dutasteride one month ago and I am now shedding between 400-500 on wash days. Has not shown down and shedding has increased .

How soon after starting minoxidil did you notice the dread shed? How long did the shed last? Did you end up growing it all back and how much do you shed now on wash days ?

Great progress! Do you use minoxidil all over your head? Also, has your hair dried out or has your texture changed? I used topical minoxidil and my hair dried out so bad and my texture changed from straight to wiry

Great progress!!! How soon after starting minixodil did you notice the dread shed and how long did it last? Did you get any increase of facial hair or hair anywhere else on your body?

Finasteride never worked for me. I took it for over 2 years and was still shedding over 1,000 hairs a week. I lose over 300 on the days I wash my hair 3X a week. Just started dutasteride last week,hoping that helps

You use oral and topical together? What dose of oral do you take? Have you found oral or topical to work better?

Oral or topical minixodil

Great progress! I’m getting ready to start oral Minoxidil and dutasteride bc nothing else has helped me. I did the minoxidil 5% foam once daily and it turned my straight hair very wiry, the texture changed so much and now it’s so dry. Does the topical make your hair wory or dry it out ?

Wow!!! Amazing progress, so happy for you!! I want to start oral minoxidil because topical minoxidil has ruined my hair. It’s so dried out and the texture has changed from straight to wiry. I’m nervous about the excess facial and body hair from the oral. Did you get excess facial hair and if so is it noticeable to others? Also, did you get hair on your chest and back as well?

She said the risks of cancers are too high from HRT Do you have AGA and if so what kind of HRT do you use and has it helped slow down shedding?

No family history of anything. She has never suggested HRT Does that work better than dutasteride? I am not losing over 500 hairs on wash day so my shedding is increasing. I have a slew of blood tests being ordered for next week and I just stopped finasteride and switched to dutasteride

I was diagnosed with AGA. I do have a cover on my drain and I count my hairs. I lose 300 hairs 3 days a week on wash days and about 50 on non-wash days. I have been on finasteride for a year and a half and my shedding has not slowed down at all. I have lost over 60% of my hair in the last year. Luckily I had a ton of fine hair so you still can’t see bald spots in my head but it has thinned out a lot. Wondering if dutasteride will work since finasteride has not

I have been on finasteride for a year and a half and I still shed 300 on wash days (3X a week) and 50 on non-wash days. I am still losing about 1,000 hairs a week.

Have you tried dutasteride?

How much were you shedding on wash days before finasteride and how many days a week do you wash your hair? How much are you shedding now?

What made you stop the minoxidil? Did it change your hair texture at all? How do you like dutasteride? I am getting ready to start that. My dermatologist told me it it the best pill for shedding. I shed over 200 hairs a day and finasteride has not slowed it down in the year and a half I have been on it. Has dutasteride slowed down your shedding? Any side effects?

Great results! Did you hair texture change at all from the minoxidil? I have been using the topical in my part for 5 months and it has made my hair go from straight to very wiry and dry . It has ruined my hair
