    I'm not convinced I even need to ask for fin in my treatment... I already take dut ED, what's the point?

      There's some studies that show topical fin reduced DHT at the scalp by 40% more than taking fin. And this is topical vs oral not topical and oral vs oral. This is also why guys with low DHT can have MPB it's not about the amount of DHT in your body it's about the amount concentrated in your scalp and your follicles predisposition to it.

        I get what your saying my temples were weak prior to AA, I did wounding through derma roller and my hairdresser cut slits with the cut throat around my temples to draw very slight blood. I also used all these products and it's worked .

          Your scenario is tricky as RU is the most powerful drug we have and your still losing, although I still think your hair is great maybe your MPB is hardcore. Like i stated it's all about trying it you won't know until you try it and you have nothing to lose.

            This, that's why people like me who use oral fin alongside topical formula have great results than someone using oral only.

              Well, on your advice, I'm going to go with the following:

              15% minoxidil
              0.1% finasteride
              1.5% azelaic acid
              0.25% progesterone
              0.025% tretinoin
              0.1% hydrocortisone
              3% biotin

              (As long as it is possible)

              Really appreciate the pointers. I'll make sure I post updates regarding progress.

                I've always responded well to minox though, so upping to 10% + might help.

                  Dude. I'm gonna be honest with you. Just looked through your photos. See a psychiatrist. You're not fighting MPB. You're fighting your adult hairline. That's probably why nothing is working. Please don't take offense. You are NOT going to keep your teenage hair.

                    So the fact that my father's and grandfather's "adult hairlines" begin on the back of their heads still doesn't necessarily mean I'm going bald?

                    Made this point a million times but here goes... just because you're not yet a NW3 or 4, doesn't mean you're not going bald.

                      That's the perfect topical formula although I use hydrocortisone once a week now, Dr klein always told me it's ok to use small percent when combined with tretinoin as it counteract skin thinning.

                      I'm still upset he's gone he seriously was the best Hairloss physician ever and he was going to trial a good regrowth formula this year, shame he's dead!!!!!

                        No doubt higher percent works but it all depends on the quality, also cream based is the best as you get less sides. Even the belgravia Center formulate 12.5% and that's cream base in the uk with great success.

                          I know exactly how you feel, it's good your saving your hair now but I pray something works for you in time as your on a great regime.

                            But you're not even a norwood 1. I think that's why everyone give you a hard time. i know it sucks to look at your family everyday and see them as bald, but you're not them. And you're on all this shit while you're still developing. I wouldn't even be on this stuff if I was going bald before 21 let alone 16 and then for 4 years. There isn't a doubt in my mind you've permanently messed up your hormones and have altered your growth because of this fixation. i don;t mean to be rude but someone has to say it to you.
