Minoxidil Shredding The Hairline, Do I Continue Use Or Try Something Else??

[Supremex]

Ive been on minoxidil since December 19th and have noticed nothing but deeper recession. The manual said if there is no regrowth within the first 3 months, discontinue use. I starting adding finasteride and nizoral sometime in January but things keep getting worse.

My diet has been much cleaner, eating walnuts, almonds, and I drink coconut milk daily. Nothing is working for me.. ):

Do I continue the use of minoxidil, or do you think it is making it worse.

I’ve attached photos which are 4 months difference. You may not notice a difference in the picture, but in person it is a drastic change. I can no longer style my hair how I used to, and my hair is overall getting thinner.

the rest looks much better than 4 months imo

The Minoxidil should not cause a permanent loss of hair. Do you feel your hair is much thinner after taking the finasteride or does it feel there is just no improvement? I honestly did not see an issue in your earlier pictures unless they were just not capturing everything. Your later pics look thinner but also your hair looks shorter. Still doesn't look like you are balding.

There's a fair chance you're just not a responder to minoxidil. I don't think that its done you much harm though, as there's no glaringly obvious difference in the photos regarding your hair. I will say the 4th picture looks better than the 3rd; the 2nd picture looks worse than the first.

minoxidil has done nothing for me either ( except a bad shed! ) I'm planning to gradually drop it soon.

The guy has only been on Minoxidil for three months.

It's not a miracle drug, that's for sure.

That said, hopefully he's taking it twice daily, at least.

Combined with Finasteride, I think Minoxidil does help. But only if Finasteride is taken
for a couple of months at least.
