Questions about spironolactone and minoxidil

[sincityslicker]

Yo,
I am pretty concerned about my hairloss. I am 22 and started losing hair about a year and a half ago. I didnt take anything at first because I wanted to see if the hair loss would wane. Unfortunately after one year i lost almost an inch on my hairline. I am losing hair in the back but for some reason it grows back somewhat easily, my front on the other hand doesnt. I have been taking minoxidil and spironolactone for a few weeks. I like the spironolactone but the minoxidil makes my scalp unbearbly tingly and itchy, almost to the point where I want to give up because it it is so irritating. Im also using Nizoral. I want to know if there are any medications specifically for receding hairlines or something I could use in lieu of the minoxidil.I have also heard that minoxidil is to be used more towards the back of the scalp because different hormones affect frontal hair loss. Is this true? What do you guys think think i should use ?

How often are you using minoxidil and at what dosage?

What % is the minoxidil?

How often do you use Nizoral?

Have you tried a good Copper Peptide?

minoxidil works all over the head. It's just more research has been done on it's affect on the back. Don't know if you will find a better regrowth topical than minoxidil. I find a rotation of american crew revitalise shampoo (with copper peptides) and nizoral is the only thing that stops my scalp itching.

using 5% at night time, spironolactone in the morning, and nizoral 3-4 x a week. are there any oral meds for that target the frontal area?
