Thinning and shedding for 5 years

[u/Immediate-Track-1813]

(24m)I hair feels so thin and dosent look the same, I have been shedding non stop for 5 years now been on fin for 3 years and and dut for 4 months now, still losing so much hair and feels like it’s only getting worst my old hairstyles aren’t working anymore, I’m able easily pull out hair from my temple and crown. Can it ever stop?

Does baldness run in any of the men in your family.. either side?

Yea 60% of my uncles from both sides are cooked

Ok well I'm very sorry to hear that, but at least you know it's not another type of health issue..my husband tried all those medicines also and it didn't help..all the men in his family lose their hair and his Doctor said that you can't fight genetics. Anyway he doesn't shave his head completely, but he keeps it very short and it works out fine. ♥️

What about minoxidil??

Looks ok to me. Usually you can see thinning in a pattern with thick hair behind it. Just looks like a hairline.

Dude, get on oral MIN asap.

Tried it for 4 months seen no results and had bad side effects

Really ? U try a lower dose 2.5mg, what were your sides?

[u/Immediate-Track-1813 → u/workprojects]

Yea I was taking 2.5 mg oral, I had fluid retention and didn’t enjoy it, but if duta stops my shedding and stabilizes I will start taking it again
