An 18-year-old male is experiencing significant hairshedding, particularly from the back of his head, despite normal blood test results except for slightly low vitamin D. A dermatologist prescribed minoxidil for receding temples, but the cause of the shedding remains unclear.
A user's experience with Dutasteride causing rapid hair loss and temple recession over 3 weeks, with other users offering advice about the potential causes of this.
OP is experiencing ongoing hairshedding despite two years on finasteride, with some initial improvement but no long-term success. Users suggest seasonal shedding, checking for vitamin deficiencies, considering minoxidil, and possibly switching to dutasteride.
Using regular Head & Shoulders shampoo stopped hairshedding and itchiness, unlike natural shampoos and oils. Minoxidil and finasteride were also used but didn't stop the shedding.
A user with aggressive male pattern baldness found that topical melatonin significantly reduced their hairshedding to 1 or 2 hairs per day and noticed some thickening of side hair. They tried many treatments like finasteride and minoxidil with little success, but topical melatonin showed immediate results in reducing hair loss.
