A 25-year-old has been using finasteride for four years to treat hair loss, starting at age 21, and has experienced significant hair thickening without side effects. Others in the conversation share varied results and experiences with finasteride, with some considering adding minoxidil to their treatment.
A person feels intense shame and self-hatred due to baldness and poor self-image, affecting their confidence and social interactions. Suggestions include therapy, exercise, braces, hair transplants, and using finasteride.
