6 months on minox 4 months on fin

[Iambannana]

Hey all have been on generic fin for 4 months now and although I was too scared to try it after all the stories I heard but have had no sides whatsoever from it and it has thickened up my scalp noticibly. However my hair has been receeding at the temples a bit so I've been applying rogaine on them for 6 months now, and if anything it's just made my hairline even worse! All I have left are small thin hairs, and I'm wondering wether or not to continue because it just seems to have made the whole thing worse. 6 months should be enough to see some sort of progress? Is it possible for these small (10mm-20mm) hairs to become long again? Thanks
