Hello guys!I am 23(M) and I have been suffering with hair loss since 19 years old.I started with topical minoxidil and around 22 years old I tried oral fin for around 6 months but got hit from some harsh side effects.I stopped and continued only with topical minoxidil.After 6 months of topical minoxidil only I started topical fin but got also hit with some strong sides.Now my last resort is oral minoxidil after seeing some people get results only form using it.I know how hair loss works and that it’s highly impossible that something will happen if you do not address the DHT problem but as I mentioned the sides from fin were pretty rough.My hair loss is still not noticeable but I think that it will be soon.Do you have any recommendations or should I just wait?
If oral min is your next step, be cautious as it’s more potent than topical. If side effects on fin were too much, consider topical anti-androgens as an alternative. Combining min with ketoconazole shampoo and microneedling might help maintain what you have. Hair loss treatments can take up to a year to show visible results, so patience is key.
