    As for nizoral, I believe it serves to wash DHT from the scalp. I am actually on 2% keto from my GP, but I went down to once a week because it was giving me dandruff and itchy scalp. Not to mention it makes my hair very thin and lifeless. Google it to understand it's impact better.
    I have ordered some, hopefully it will work, also, on the plus side, it's seems the Minox is working as my hair seems to be getting darker.

    Do I need to slowly build it up in my system?

The big 3 combo is the best combination to fight hair loss, hopefully something safer and better comes out in near future.

    I am not worried about receeding that much as most of my brothers have high hair lines, I am just worried about going all bald.

    I tried propecia but it caused pretty bad dysfunction, I keep getting told about Nizoral, is it prescription or can you get it over the counter?
    Yes, you can buy nizoral 1% over the counter, I bought mine on amazon. Have you tried lowering your dosage on FIN(propecia/proscar)? It may help with any type of side effects.

    This picture are horrible, take a better quality picture with enough light. It seems your receding a bit, minoxidil won't help on regrowth on receding hairlines but it can stop hairloss. Try getting on the BIG 3,

    Minox/rogaine am/pm

    Nizoral 2% twice a week

    properica/proscar 1.25mg everyday. <--- after you visit a professional hair specialist.


    you may also try 5% spiro and folligan cream/spray

    I think I can work out the pattern of baldness or maybe I am looking to much in do it.

    Here is a pic, not great but the best I could do.



    Do I keep on and fight or do I just no guard my head?
