Have you tried Minoxidil? I have heard that it can help you to hold on to what's left and help you to regrow a bit. One of my friends has used this. Also, avoid brushing wet hair. it may lead to hair loss. If you have alcoholic habits, it will be better to leave it. Propecia and rogaine are the best for treating baldness.
I'm already on treatments
Read the whole thread
There has been very little success on the hairline but vertex has thickened up
UPDATE
1 year on finasteride and minoxidil.
Hair is above baseline. I have been experiencing a minor/major shed. Don't know how to feel about that and if I should expect it or not. I'll upload pictures soon.
I haven't been regular with my minoxidil application. Still no sides to report on finasteride.

Bro i have gyno too and im wondering if finasteride would make it worse, did it happen to you?
Thanks
It got a little bit better on finasteride. It didn't get worse.
It doesn't make a cosmetic difference. I apply approximately 1.5 ml

How can it get better!? Xd
UPDATE
It has been more than a year on finasteride and minoxidil. I have been experiencing a she'd for months now and I think I'm back to baseline. I have been pretty regular with finasteride but not so with minoxidil.
I'm shedding close to 100 hair everyday. I have been noticing increased hair fall after showers. I'm worried that finasteride might not be working for me anymore

Hair still looks better than baseline, I think you are losing hair because you mention you haven't been consistent with minoxidil, once you start minoxidil that hair becomes dependent on minoxidil so if you slack on the minoxidil, you will start losing those hairs again,,even if you're on finasteride. This is the main reason I didn't start minoxidil.
UPDATE
2.5 years on finasteride
I have been experiencing 50-100 hair loss everyday for the past year. It has been 6 months since I dropped minoxidil completely because of the inconvenience and I couldn't be regular in college.
My hair has overall thinned and the crown is more visible than ever. I would've balded way sooner if not for finasteride.
I think it is losing its efficacy. Is this normal?
Should I restart minoxidil?

Perhaps its losing efficacy ..you may want to use Avodart
UPDATE: 3.5 Years on Finasteride
I had started out with Finasteride and Minoxidil for my hair loss. I stopped using minoxidil after a year because it was way too much of a hassle.
My hair is either at or below baseline. I still shed and my hair looks very frizzy now.
Hairloss is still happening tho but results have slowly declined. My gyno has remained the same, although I have put on some weight.
Should I get back on Minoxidil?
PS- I am 21 years old now.
