It has been a time since I left tressless. But accidentally stumbled upon this answer of yours while giving a re-visit to the forum. I no longer have access to nor use my old account, so will write a final answer here as you accuse me of promoting drinking topical minoxidil. I want warn that 1) I did not recommend it, 2) You should return your claim as it does not reflect the reality.
I have not recommended drinking topical minoxidil. In theory, it would work. In practice it is dangerous, read it the text above properly and you would see. You seem to be also new to fighting hair loss, tretinoin on its own is not powerful.
I had also LITERALLY warned people to NOT drink the topical minoxidil back when I used this place, check this thread of mine out:
I am not going to stay here for long this time too. Medications should only be prescribed by doctors, any mention of x or y is better even if you state explicitly to see a doctor first, it can lead to people getting complications without referring to a doctor and you may have problems. You explicitly mention that dutasteride is better multiple times in your other posts, so be careful. It is true that dutasteride is indeed a better performer in suppressing DHT but calling it “better” is not suitable.
