I started diffuse thinning badly at 13
brutal I know
but I didn't realize until I was around 14-15 at which point I started using topical minoxidil. I used it for like four months then stopped and then went on and off inconsistently up until I was around 17.
A couple months after my 17th birthday, I hopped on 2.5mg oral minox (my derm wouldn't prescribe 5mg
) and took it daily for 6 months, after which I was prescribed 5mg finasteride and minoxidil.
been taking both of those for 3.5 months now but have not noticed much if any improvement to my density.
Is it too early, or are my follicles irreparable at this point?
When I look in the mirror, I see a lot of baby hairs but I might just be schizo since you can't see them even in direct pics of my scalp
I have NOT shed any hair since 15 however (I am 18 now)
