Description

Hi all,

I have been following this site and the reddit forum for about a year now, and decided to start treatment myself. I have the following plan:

  • Once a day 0.5/1 mg Finasteride
  • Once a day microneedling with 0.3 mm needles
  • Twice a day Topical Minoxidil foam (Regaine)
  • Twice a week Ketoconazole shampoo (Ketozolin 2%)
  • Once a week Piroctone olamine shampoo (Sebamed)

I am still struggling with a few questions, maybe you guys have an answer for me.

  • Is this an effective treatment? What would you change?
  • Would you go for 0.5 mg or 1 mg Finasteride? I’ve read that 0.5 mg is just as effective.
  • Is there still hope for me? Or did I start too late? (see picture)
  • What effects do you guys expect?
  • Does anyone have any experience with Piroctone olamine? The Tressless GPT bot recommended it to me.

I will give you monthly updates and am looking forward to talk about your journeys. Thank you!
