In the crown, there’s a very long period where hair is miniaturized, so there’s a big window for medication to work. In the front, the area usually goes from being hairy to being bald very quickly - so there is little opportunity for finasteride to work. But in the crown, there’s that long period where it’s miniaturized.
So that’s the reason why it seems like the medicines are working better on the crown. However, it’s just common sense that if the medicines didn’t work in the front at all, eventually the front will become the back and they would be useless. They have to work in the front to some degree - at least in prevention.
