How long does it take to regrow the lost hair with Finasteride?

ajay kadagalaDec 19, 2017
Hello there. I am Ajay. I am 22 years old now. I am taking Finasteride 1 mg tablets from the past one and half month and I want to know how much time it takes to regrow the lost hair and how much time it takes to thicken the hair? I am not bald but I lost hair at temples area and I have small vellus hair below the hair line, Is it those vellus hairs grow thicker if I continue to use these finasteride?? Please suggest me

You can put minoxidil on the chest and it will probably cause hair loss. Be careful about overdosing the drug

A head scarf would have to be constantly tight without taking it off for it to produce traction alopecia.  I would want to see what you are wearing

Unless you had good metrics with a device called HAiRCHECK, you really don't know when you have recovered
