First time posting here. Not sure exactly where to go from here as far as treating my hair loss. I’m currently 21 and I noticed my hairline starting to recede when I was 19. I had never noticed shedding or any hair on my hands in the shower (maybe I wasn’t looking for it).
I started taking finasteride around May of 2018 along with minoxidil liquid at night. I didn’t experience shedding at any time during 2018. There was a period in maybe October of 2018 where I became extremely inconsistent in taking both the finasteride and minoxidil, but by the end of October i was back on both and using everyday. By mid-November, my hair was probably the best it had ever looked. It was much darker and definitely thicker throughout (I hadn't previously been concerned with the density on top). Not much of a change at the hairline, but wasn’t concerned.
However in February of this year I started to notice my hair getting “flatter” with not as much density. I began noticing hair falling out around this time. By March my hairline was thinning out and more of my scalp was showing on top. In April, I started incorporating nizoral 3 times a week and then last month I added minoxidil foam in the morning. Since then I have continued to lose density throughout and at the hairline.
So currently I am on finasteride 1mg, minoxidil am/pm, and nizoral 3x a week. I continue to shed and definitely am spending too much time thinking about my hair loss.
What should I do next? Dermaroller? dutasteride?
I’ve attached some photos of the current situation. Thanks for reading!
