Hello
I seem to have a rare type of balding, that being one that balds strictly starting from the hairline on inward. My crown is great, just the front line seems to be taking hits (unevenly as well)

I am currently on minoxidil, Finasteride (less than a week), and Revita.

Anyone with similar pattern of loss and tips on what has worked for them?

I have the same pattern loss as you. And strangely the center area is receding faster than the temples. I have reverse thinning. Unfortunately I have tried everything to keep my hair line and nothing works. I read the only thing that might work topically is emu oil. I have nothing to lose at this point so I have some emu oil already and I am just going to use that at the hair line and see what happens. Otherwise, I am getting a hair transplant there eventually. I would rather have normal male pattern baldness where you recede at the temples and keep the thick center forelock. However, my hair loss pattern has to be the rare type but I guess its easier to do a transplant with this type of loss. Rogaine, Propecia, and even Proxiphen have failed to keep my hairline. I am going to get PRP but I was told it does not work on the hairline. So all I can do is wear longer bangs and cover it until I get my transplant.

I have been using Propecia for 5 years. I honestly think it has done nothing for me and I even took a genetic test that said I would be poor responder( weak responder) to Propecia but I still take it now since it can lower my risk for prostate cancer. Maybe it has helped slow things down but I will never know.
