Influence of the Hair Growth Cycle on the Glyceride Content of Whole Mouse Skin

The user experienced significant hair loss 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 hair loss is due to Telogen Effluvium or another cause.

The user is experiencing hair thinning and is questioning if it's a shed phase after 7 months on oral finasteride and 1 month on topical minoxidil, with occasional derma-rolling. Shedding is common with minoxidil, and users suggest it may take a year or two for noticeable improvement.

The user experienced significant hair regrowth with topical finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, and dermarolling, but later faced severe hair shedding after stopping dermarolling and reducing ketoconazole use.

A 16-year-old experiencing hair thinning noticed a shift from shedding long hairs to shorter hairs, while using Vitamin D, biotin supplements, ketoconazole shampoo, and improving diet. They are questioning if the short hairs indicate regrowth or androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

Hair thickness below 50% may not recover fully, but treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can help. Shedding involves a resting phase before new hair grows, taking about three months.
