its usually the first sign that comes with finasteride. Whats happening is your hair is startin regrowth in some areas, and the itching is hair follicles pushing thru the scalp. At first, you may see some hair fall out, very little, but thats the new hair follicles pushin out the old. Just keep an eye on it.

I've only been consistently using it for 7 days.
I'm on test c 500mg/w
itches on the top of my head...not on the front or sides, just on the top
I don't have dandruff but started using nizoral 1% 2 days on 1 day off-could the nizoral be causing my scalp to dry and that making it itch?

yep it could be... that and the fact that the follicles are probably getting "killed" so to speak from the dht now that your on cycle.

7 days is no where near long enough for propecia/finasteride to work.

Are hairs coming out on your hands?

dont worry, its normal, continue what your doin just try and take your shots ed or whenever your supposed to right ON TIME to keep blood levels stable and to minimize sides all over.

its gonna take at least 3 months of constant use to slow down hairloss.

shitty I know...but thats the way it is.
