Hi everyone, in November this year I noticed my hair density went down considerably from the summer. I hopped on 1mg finasteride everyday, ketoconazole 3 times a week, and topical minoxidil on my hairline 2 weeks later. I have had a pretty consistent shed since starting but I think my hair on top thickened up a little. I still lose plenty of hair in the shower but I don’t think it has gotten any worse since I started.
More recently, about a month or so ago I started noticing my sides and nape are losing ground. Especially my sides since I cut that shorter. After looking into it the only thing I think it could be is retrograde alopecia. (My dads whole side of the family is bald, but they have normal MPB and not retrograde loss) However, these hairs don’t look like normal, thin weak hairs that you would see fall out in a shed. The hairs coming out are thick, and from what I can tell, the follicle looks health and not miniaturized. That’s just from what I can see compared to other hairs I shed, that look weak and thin.
