5 / 41 resultscommunity Severe hair thinning at 17 years old taking a huge toll on my life..
The conversation is about a 17-year-old experiencing severe hair thinning and the advice given is to see a dermatologist or doctor to check for underlying health issues or to start treatment early if it's male pattern baldness.
community Is there any chance of improvement?
A 19-year-old experiencing severe hair loss since 16 is using a treatment regimen of 5% minoxidil, 0.1% finasteride topical solution, 3% procapil hair serum, and 0.5 mg dutasteride daily. They are concerned about the effectiveness and potential shedding phase, with advice suggesting noticeable changes in 6 to 8 months.
community Decades Update: age 23 to 25 and age 39 to 41
The user started using finasteride at age 23, stopped at 30 to start a family, and resumed at 39 with minoxidil, seeing positive results both times. They successfully had four children after stopping finasteride, noting changes in sperm quality and some side effects upon resuming the medication.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
community Justin Trudeau really is one lucky guy
Justin Trudeau's full head of hair at 53 is humorously attributed to unpredictable genetics and possible use of finasteride. The conversation jokes about a resemblance to Fidel Castro, suggesting genetic luck or treatment use.
