Have you started to treat it ? It's so important to stop the thinning ! I also have another post....I'm scheduled to have HT on April 8th. Right now my hair shedding/thinning slowed down to just about stop!! However, the best result my Dr stated for my edge is HT :-)

Hello there, small improvement in the middle. I have exact problems and becoming difficult as it is putting me off have relationships due to the lowering of self esteem around female hair loss. Please can you let us know what the treatment is. I am very close to going with FUE without first trying high does Minoxodil. Very kind regards.

I have two posts on here... One for the middle of my head thinking hair. This is the regime my doctor gave me in Atlanta.
Orally -
Biotin
Dutasteride
Doryx

Topically
FM formula
Clobetasol

Shapiro hair with DHS/zinc

I have a post on my edges ... Just came back from turkey hair transplant. Can't do it for the middle due infection under the scalp

Hi I'm having the same exact problem are the above medications prescribed? I'm aware you can buy Biotin OTC but not sure where to get the other meds from i.e. Dutasteride and Doryx. Pleas advise. Thank you in advance.

For sure I'm no longer loosing hair or thinning. It takes a year for you to see significant difference. One of my medications is prescribed by my Dermatologist. Look on my other post... I did hair transplant around my edge.

Hello, thank you for detail on the meds. Please can you let us know the name of the surgical facility in Turkey. In all honesty I probably need to do FUE as well. I hope your healing is going well. Kind Regards

Hi Mayldn, I don't think you will regret it! You may want to do some research on FUE verses FUT. Read my other post and you will see the journey thus far with the FUT procedure. Also, Doctor name, cost and facility is listed! Feel free to ask any question!!

I will upload some pictures later. I'm happy with the improvement little to non shedding/thinning. I saw some growth around edges, but no enough to keep me from moving forward with FUT. My dermatologist told me his goal was to stop any further damaged and he accomplished it! Again, he also said the best results will from edge will come from HT. He is awesome and good at HT, but I can't afford him this moment. So, Turkey (AEK) Dr. K, here I come and my post will start on my journey with him...next
