Can’t tolerate fin, am I screwed?

I used minoxidilmax to get 0.1 fin 0.5 min topical combo . I was only using about half of the dose. Started noticing after a bit of use that i couldn’t “get it up” to save my life. And when i tried “getting off” (while it didn’t even get up) I couldn’t feel a thing. So I told myself I’ll give it a month but ultimately stopped at 3 weeks . I think it was working for my hair a little bit in that time because the texture was slightly better.

Now I’m not using anything and watching my hair just recede more and more. My hair itself is very brittle and frail so I am definitely an aggressive diffuse thinner. Obviously I wouldn’t get a transplant because the way it is now would look terrible and stringy plus I would keep losing hair and look weird

I bought foam minoxidil and was going to start using that every night . I know it won’t fix the problem but I figured it would at least buy some more time and hopefully give me more density and some regrowth

Not sure what else I can do at this point.


I have a pic of my hair so you can see what I’m working with. Really just wished there was a solution that wouldn’t torch my sensitive sexual health

If you can’t tolerate fin, sticking with minoxidil and maybe adding treatments like microneedling could help. Consider topical dutasteride or even oral minoxidil for more systemic effects without major hormone changes. Check out the Beginner’s Guide for more options.
