Hello everyone, new user here.
I started noticing my hair thinning in November 2017. It is mainly occurring at the crown but slowly thinning on other parts of my scalp as well. I haven't noticed any hairline recession (as of now).
I went to see a dermatologist that recommended Rogaine and wrote a prescription for Propecia. I started using Rogaine on January 5th, 2018. I looked into Propecia, but the side effects scared me away since I would be dealing with them at such an early age...so I ended up not even picking up my prescription.
Since January, this is has been my routine:
I think I am going to switch from Hair Surge to Nizoral after I finish this bottle since it seems to be more popular and MUCH LESS expensive.
I don't feel comfortable with taking Propecia, but I recently read up on the S5 cream and am intrigued by it.
My questions:

Since January, this is has been my routine:
- Rogaine twice a day - started 6 months ago
- Biotin supplement once a day - started 6 months ago
- Hair Surge shampoo 4/5 days a week - started 2 weeks ago

My questions:
- How many days per week should I use Nizoral A-D when I switch to it from Hair Surge?
- Is the S5 cream a good anti-androgen cream to use? Do you recommend it?
- What other treatments do you recommend I add to my regimen, if any?
