A 21-year-old with accelerated hairloss due to stress and weight loss is using minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling to combat balding, despite experiencing a significant initial hair shed. They are committed to continuing treatment for at least three months and are considering switching to topical finasteride if necessary.
The user experienced significant hairloss after extended fasting, initially thought to be Telogen Effluvium, but later suspected male pattern baldness. They tried finasteride briefly but stopped due to concerns about side effects, and are unsure if the hairloss is due to Telogen Effluvium or another cause.
Hair regrowth after telogen effluvium, with the user experiencing hairloss at the temples and regrowth after taking omega-3/fish oil tablets. Suggestions include consulting a dermatologist and considering supplements like Biotin, Zinc, and Vitamin D.
A 24-year-old male started using 1 mg finasteride and topical minoxidil for hairloss in February 2025. By June 2025, he noticed improvement in his right temple but experienced thinning at the crown and continued shedding.
The user is experiencing hair thinning and brittleness, possibly due to Telogen Effluvium, which affects body hair and may be linked to stress or nutrition. They are considering using finasteride for treatment but are unsure if it will address their symptoms.
