I just had a quick question. I took 1mg of finasteride for 2 weeks and noticed I was starting to develop gynecomastia. I immediate stopped taking finasteride and gyno has since went down. This was my only symptom. My question is, in theory, would taking only 0.25mg everyday give me a better chance of not developing gyno? I understand there’s about 60% DHT inhibition at 0.25mg. At 0.25mg, would I have less extra testosterone that would get converted to estrogen, and give me a better chance at not developing gyno? If this is a stupid way of thinking just to continue taking finasteride, please let me know. I’d appreciate your honesty!

Since it stopped quickly, you can try the lower dose and see. I always suggest that you clear everything with your doctor.

I believe acne and dandruff and hair loss are related. They are all caused by cells that go through their cellular life cycle at much faster rates than normal. How can this be denied?

I believe Bigfoot, the Yeti, and the Loch Ness monster are all related. They’re unexplained mysteries that can’t be proven. How can my claim be denied?

Honestly, it is very easy to deny something and much harder to prove something. Show me scientific proof and I won’t deny your theory.

Yes, the injection could have caused the hair loss. In about 6 months, you will know if the hair loss will reverse.

I read the item about hair foliclle damage because of lactic acid secretions on the scalp. Well, I was told the same thing, and given a lotion to neutralize the acid. I can confirm this situation does occur when subject to unpresidented levels of stress. When i say stress, stress at such a level I was physically ill with it, for a long period of time. Halucinations etc

One day I notice that my incredibly thick hair was going fine and curly. Finasteride made no difference, and I was shown hairs from my head, that had no outer sheath on them. Also prior to seeking advice the affected area became hot, itchy and greasy- when i was stressed, and this is where the hair follicles have died.

Lactic acid is not a cause of hair loss. Whatever you read about lactic acid secretions on the scalp causing hair loss is false. I found some message board that talked about it, but I don’t think it went beyond speculation. It wasn’t mentioned in any medical journal that I could find.

Without knowing what dose or how long you took finasteride, I don’t know that I could agree that it “made no difference”. I don’t know enough information to give you anything beyond generalities, but if you’re balding in a pattern, it’s not stress. Stress could be exacerbating the loss, but it’s ultimately your genetics. I wouldn’t expect a “hot, itchy, and greasy” scalp to be normal from stress, and it’s certainly not normal to have hallucinations, no matter how much the stress. You need to seriously see a doctor.

Your donor area may show some donor site depletion from the FUE. This is not unusual if you had many grafts harvested.

The average African American hair density is generally low, so it limits the FUE procedure to about 1500 FUE grafts.

This is a Telogen Effluvium (TE) which will reverse as you recover. TE often occurs following illness or stresses like a surgery or severe emotional event like a death or illness in the family.

You have a see-through donor area which reflects what for you was over-harvesting for your donor area density. it will not get better and you will probably have to let your hair grow longer to cover it.??
