20M, have been on 2.5mg topical minoxidil for 5 months (however not the most consistent as often missed mornings or sometimes whole days whilst travelling) and 1mg finasteride for 4 months which I’ve been consistent with.
A bit disheartened from lack of progress so thinking of transitioning to oral minoxidil as that will be easy to stay consistent with.
Is this lack of progress normal? I know the temples are the hardest to regrow so wondering if I just need to accept these temples and stay on finasteride so it doesn’t get worse. I was only really concerned with temples so can’t comment on crown/rest of head but it definitely feels thinner since starting treatment.
Should I try derma stamping?
