So I have stated 5% minoxidil cream with finasteride. I am 37 years old with mainly temples thinning out. I have used minoxidil in past and quit for 5-6 years. I always responded super well but some skin sides caused me to quit. Irriation around eyes as well.

However I found the murray acapotherapy and used the lotion with finasteride. Does not irritate me which is outstanding. However, I have been using about 2 months now, apply to temples only, I am seeing some thickness in that area, however the top of my head is shedding and thinning like crazy. I have NEVER experienced thinning at the top of my hair until I started this. Could this be a shed since I have not used minoxidil in a while, or is the topical finasteride causing my whole head to shed?

Please let me know what you think. I do not apply to the scalp, just hairline so I am confused as to why I am thinning on the top.
