Currently taking 12.5% minoxidil does any think tretoin would help?

I’m losing hair on temples and lost some thickeness overall over the years, can anyone help on whether I should include tret and ru?

RU usually helps with the hairline.

Have you experienced this before?

tretinoin, for sure and no side effects.
Ru, o the other hand, it is an experimental drug, no human studies, we don't even know if it goes systemic or not. Most probably, will go systemic.

Does tret help with using minoxidil?

Currently seeing some gains on it after just a few weeks, new vellus in areas that were slick bald. The reason it's good for the hairline is that it is just as strong as T in terms of its affinity for the receptor.

Sorry what’s “t”?

Testosterone

Does using it with finasteride help? Or is it overkill?

 

[Norwoody]

That can work.
