    First post. I am 50 years old and was recently put on testosterone replacement therapy. Background: Minoxidil foam and 1.25mg finasteride since November 2011. First hair transplant December 2011 , second transplant December 2013. Very happy with the results. Wife and family say my hair looks great and can't even tell I had the transplant, in a good way. Diagnosed with low T in October of this year and started treatment right away.Current treatment is 150ml Testosterone Cypionate weekly. Approximately 3 weeks after starting treatment I noticed hair shedding when I applied the minoxidil foam. I notice 15-25 hairs on my hand after vigorously applying the foam. I honestly do not know if this was happening 3 months ago as I never bothered to check. After noticing the hair loss I upped the finasteride to 2.5mg daily. I had a blood test run and my Total Testosterone was 1323 ng/dl ref range 250-1100. DHT was 29ng/dl ref range 16-79 ng/dl. DHT seems low mid range. Is it normal to see hair on your hands after applying foam? Should I expect hair loss on TRT, even when using Finasteride and minoxidil foam? Thanks in advance
