A 35-year-old man, balding since 18, has seen growth of small, almost white hairs all over his scalp after 1.5 months on oral finasteride and minoxidil. Users suggest sticking with the treatment for a year, adding microneedling, and potentially trying RU58841 or dutasteride.
community 7+ years fin user, stopped saw palmetto/rosemary oil 3 months ago..biggest regret

community Progress: From June 2022 (7 months of min + fin) to now (1 year) — I’ve lost so much density in this period and I have no idea why. I was getting pretty good resultup until that point. Is there anything else I can try? I’ve tried min, fin, tretinoin, micro needling, and castor oil. I feel hopeless.
The user lost hair density after 7 months of using minoxidil and finasteride and is seeking advice on other treatments after trying tretinoin, microneedling, and castor oil. Suggestions include checking for scalp conditions like eczema or psoriasis, changing minoxidil brands, and questioning hair dryer use and finasteride dosage.
community Here is my hair regrowth plan
The user's hair regrowth plan includes topical treatments (RU58841, azelaic acid, ketoconazole), oral supplements (Gia Herbs, castor oil), microneedling, PTD-DBM peptide with valproic acid, red light therapy, inversion table with scalp massage, and platelet-rich fibrin injections. Commenters suggest that finasteride and minoxidil are essential treatments for male pattern hair loss, which are missing from the plan.
