Will Applying Minoxidil/Finasteride to Temples Cause Shedding Elsewhere?

My hairline is receding and my crown and middle part is alright, just a bit of thinning, so i was thinking if i only apply topical min and fin on the hairline, would the other parts of scalp also shed

Applying min and fin to just the temples won’t cause shedding elsewhere. Shedding happens when hair follicles reset their growth cycle, not because of where you apply the treatment. You can stick to targeting just the areas you want to treat. If you do notice extra thinning elsewhere, it might be worth keeping an eye on and treating more areas if needed.
