Why does my hair stop growing right above and under my scalp?

Asked By:jfredrik929 in Abbeyville, Colorado, USA

Hi, Male(35). I’ve been taking Finasteride since may. My hair have become thinner since starting. 1 month ago my Dr noticed that I have a lot of broken hairs just under and above my skin. She told me that it was her first time seeing something like that. My whole top scalp have hair that doesn’t grow mixed with ”normal” hair. I’m aware of shedding from Finasteride and Minoxidil, but does it really look like this? Are these hairs dying? Could anything like for example Min help with the regrowth?
