57yo male, started balding 10 years ago, from heavy duty anxiety, seborrheic dermatitis, also its in the family genes, so.
I started 5% topical min once a day about two months ago, all was going fine, then last two weeks the palps started, to the point where a few nights ago in bed they were like a baby kicking in the mothers belly, like BANG BANG etc, and a lot of fluttering in between.
Needles to say I stopped the min two days ago, but maaan, really? I was just shedding too, ffs.
I need hair and a transplant is out of the question £££.
I'm a bit unsure because I crushed a 1mg finasteride into the min a couple of weeks ago, I believe that's a tiny amount of fin? Could that be the culprit? Probs not as min is far more likely to cause the palps.
I'm reluctant to try again as it really was scary af!
Also, from the photos, am I wasting my time anyway? I won't look good bald, that's for sure, I've always had massive long hair, and played in a rock band, it's been my identity my whole adult life.
Edit, forgot to add that kratom and creatine had a large hand to play in helping me lose my hair. I no longer take creatine, it made my hair fall FAST! No doubt about it.
