Could Minoxidil be worse for your hair?

[ukmale24]

As someone on another thread mentioned, the idea that minoxidil opens up blood vessels, could it be that it's opening the way for more DHT to get to the follicle, and thus causing hair loss to get worse?

After 8 months or so of using minoxidil, I can't see an improvement at all. My hair has continually thinned, although i'm not sure whether it would've been worse without minoxidil.

Min only or other things as well? Min works best in combination with other things, namely finasteride.

Well for 8 months it's only been minoxidil, but only just started to take finasteride! maybe i should stay clear of minoxidil for a few months until the finasteride hopefully starts to take effect.

Im not the expert in this matter but it seems the general consensus from the more experienced posters would suggest to stay on it all and add Nizoral to your routine as well! Good Luck !

Yeah keep the min, and the finasteride. If you get itchy scalp add nizoral 3/week.
