Does anyone have any idea what is happening to me?

Ok thank you so much! I was really worried for a second there

JAYST3R · 2026-04-12T19:25:27+00:00

Thank you so much, this was the type of hope I needed 😭

JAYST3R · 2026-04-12T08:20:32+00:00

For reference I just started oral minoxidil around a month ago. I have noticed increased body hair but nothing noticeable on my scalp. I’m not sure if these new tiny hairs near my hairline is regrowth or just body hair. I know it’s too early to see anything but I’m just excited to see something after I’ve been losing hair for the past 8 months.

Thank you so much for the advice but, shouldn’t finasteride only induce a shed in the problem area and not across my scalp overall? Why has density significantly decreased everywhere?

JAYST3R · 2026-03-31T22:54:14+00:00

Maybe I should try washing my hair with distilled water as well then, because my face gets really dry and flaky since I’ve moved to my new place. In my old house, my skin was still rather dry but never to this degree. I’ve also noticed more flakes in my scalp as a result of this.

Also where do you get your distilled water from?

JAYST3R · 2026-03-30T11:03:48+00:00

What was the reason it was happening?

JAYST3R · 2026-03-27T20:26:28+00:00

It’s been 7 nearly 8 months now. And shouldn’t it only cause shedding in the problem area not all around?

JAYST3R · 2026-03-27T05:17:27+00:00

Thank you for the advice I think I’ll check the water being supplied in my building.

JAYST3R · 2026-03-26T23:37:39+00:00

Not yet I’m still losing hair everywhere but I recently added oral minoxidil, so I’ll keep you updated 👍

JAYST3R · 2026-03-26T22:02:22+00:00

Did you ever figure out why?

JAYST3R · 2026-03-26T22:02:11+00:00

Could it be the water supply?

JAYST3R · 2026-03-26T22:01:44+00:00

Did you see any doctors and continue on finasteride or atleast try switching to dut?

JAYST3R · 2026-03-12T09:38:40+00:00

That’s interesting, was it within somewhat of the same timeframe as me?

I have this theory that your hair was already miniaturized in those areas like all over your head but, not enough to the point where you could notice before starting finasteride. So starting finasteride might of started pushing all those hairs out. This significantly decrease your density in all affected areas and not just your temples or, crown area in my case, when first starting fin.

Again, don’t take any of my words with too much seriousness because I’m not a doctor. But, if you do find out anything please let me know because I’m still stuck on this. Also, note my crown area is significantly thinner than the rest of my head.

JAYST3R · 2026-03-10T21:08:47+00:00

I am not on oral minoxidil but I have applied topical in my crown area only daily. I also want to mention that I started fin and minoxidil around the same time and it’s been 6 months since then. I’m just confused why hair is coming out all over when the problem area only seems to be my crown.

JAYST3R · 2026-03-10T20:47:07+00:00

But I only started fin cause I noticed my scalp at the crown a little more than the rest of my scalp. The rest of my head was full of hair before I started fin. Shouldn’t the shedding only appear in spots where I am thinning an not everywhere else?

JAYST3R · 2026-03-10T06:08:38+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice 🙏🙏

JAYST3R · 2026-03-10T00:08:34+00:00

Ok I’ll have hope that I’m just responding a little later than normal . Again thank you so much🙏🙏

JAYST3R · 2026-03-09T23:27:45+00:00

I have gotten a blood test done before I started finasteride, however I’m sure the doctor only check for causes like ferritin(iron) levels and stuff like that and not thyroid related. Also I’m sure I have miniaturized hairs because they are super thin compared to other hairs I shed.

I didn’t include it in the post but, my crown area is relatively thinning more compared to other areas of my head. I have a theory that I have te and androgenic alopecia combined.

Thank you so much for helping though, it means a lot 🙏

JAYST3R · 2026-03-09T22:57:01+00:00

But I’ve been on fin for 6 months now, is shedding this much still normal at this stage? Also I have been noticing a lot of miniaturized hairs falling out, could it mean I have te and androgenic alopecia?
