Potential problem with getting on Propecia just before HT

[Severn]

I mentioned on posts before that I first got on propecia from 1996-2001. It did a good job of restoring my crown hair but slowly lost its effectiveness. I finally stopped and noticed no difference so the drug had done all it could do.

 

However, I decided to restart again a couple of months ago just in case it might do some good to stave off potential surgical shockloss. But this time I started experiencing a pretty good shed from the medication which brings up an interesting point.

 

If the area you are going to have worked on experienced a heavy temporary shed or recession from the propecia, wouldn't that give a misleading idea to the doc on where to place the grafts?

I dont think so because the hair follicles can probably still be seen, even if the hair is shed.

 

Good question though.
