Stefano, a 20-year-old male, experienced significant hairline shedding and thinning after using topical Minoxidil, along with rosemary/jojoba oil, biotin tablets, caffeine shampoo, and a dermaroller. He is uncertain whether to continue the treatment in hopes of regrowth or stop and potentially return to his original hair condition, while a reply suggests using finasteride or dutasteride to address the underlying cause of hair loss.
The user experienced severe hair loss after using minoxidil and finasteride, then switched to dutasteride and RU58841 with some success. They are considering trying minoxidil again, possibly with topical tretinoin, despite concerns about shedding.
Minoxidil improved the user's hairline after 6 months, with visible baby hairs and less scalp visibility. The user plans to start finasteride after a year, considering health checks first.
Minoxidil and microneedling are causing new hair growth, particularly in the center of the hairline, creating a more prominent M shape. Users discuss the progress and potential benefits of the treatment.
