Today I woke up and styled my hair as normal and saw that once again, my hairline had got worse.
I have been on finasteride since 22 July 2014 and have tapered up to 1.25mg for about the last 3/4 of this period. I have been on minoxidil twice a day (5% Liquid) for two years and started washing my hair with Nizoral 3 times a week too.
The total time on the big three is now a solid 7 months and my hairline (what I'm trying desperately to improve) is steadily getting worse, and worse. Its absolutely destroying me and my confidence, self-esteem and general well-being. Im going out to buy concealer today to cover up where it has got worse. Up until this point....I was JUST about able to style my hair in the normal way however now, the 'W' is just far too pronounced.
My question - Do I cut and run from finasteride? going by other peoples results within 3/4 months I have so NO progress....should I just go straight to dutasteride? Is there anything else I can do?! Up the strength of my minoxidil too?
Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated!!
The first two pics show baseline at the start of finasteride. The image with the large window behind was taken today....all in plenty of light.
