Where can I order it online? From that bernstein site, it looks expensive, eventhough the price is not mentioned.

Thanks for the replies. I think this warrants enough reason to get blood tests. Apart from the ones already mentioned in this thread. What blood tests do you recommend? (I updated the original post with new pictures of my hair). Here's a list of ones already mentioned in this thread: - total...

Oh, another thing I should note is that I have eczema on facial skin, and I apply hydrocortisone for that. Not sure if it's related in any way.

I wouldn't mind trying dutasteride, but I'm not sure if I can get a prescription for it in the US?

Ok, took some newer photos today after hair just washed and dried and from more angles.

Dr. Bernstein? Can you give me the link to it? I am in the US. And yes, i currently do use the Minoxidil foam - 5%. Hmm I'll try to get blood tested for those things. What about hair transplant, is it too late for that as well you think?

Always thought that most doctors want your current hair to be shaved, or cut very short, to do the procedure, if not that I would definitely consider it. I don't want scars of the implants to be too visible. Thanks for the info. Here is my current regiment: Finasteride - 1mg, once a day...

I see. I'm ok with the money it costs, the downsides for me would be the pain from the procedure and the amount of time I will have to shave/be bald after the procedure until the hair grows out. But apart from finasteride and dutasteride, is there anything else to try?

So you think it's a better idea for me to go to Dutasteride? I'm always a bit wary of starting new medication, but if that's the better option, sure. I mean it doesn't look it it's been helping a lot. A combination of things: My hairline is actually pretty good and I grow an alright amount of...

Ok, I just oredered a 16oz bottle of megatek. The reviews seemed good. I'll call my doctor up to see about getting hormone levels checked as well. Thanks.

Hmm, maybe I will increase Minoxidil. Oh I also regularly use hair wax, but I guess that shouldn't make a difference. What hormones should I check levels for? And does megatek actually work as a hair growth product?

Actually yes it is greasy because I took it right after applying some minoxidil. Maybe I should take another pic with my hair dry. So if in the case that it's not androgenic, what could help this type of thinning?

My head has a weird flat part at the top back that doesn't make for a good looking shaved head. What about hair implant? I'd rather try medication though.

So you guys think I should continue Finasteride (1mg per day), Minoxidil (foam) and Ketaconazole (once a week), eventhough I don't see any improvements after 6 months? Are there any other better options?

Hi all, I'm 30 (31 in a couple of months) and I've had hair thinning since I was in my early 20s. I've been using Minoxidil for about 4 years now, which didn't seem to help. 6 months ago I started Finasteride (1 x 1mg pill daily), but I don't think it is helping, as I don't see more hair, but...
