community Shedding or receding even more?
The user experienced hair shedding after using finasteride and topical minoxidil since August 2024, and briefly adding oral minoxidil in early 2025. They suspect the shedding might be due to the oral minoxidil, a bad batch of finasteride, or a normal shedding cycle, and are also experiencing an itchy scalp and acne.

community ~5 months topical minoxidil + oral finasteride results (swipe images). Slacked with minoxidil this past month, trying to wean off anyways. My last update because I’m hopping off fin and switching to RU in a few weeks (nothing to do with fin efficacy, just experimenting).
The user experienced significant hair thickening after using topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for about 5 months and is considering switching from finasteride to RU58841. Other users encourage the original poster to continue the current treatment due to the positive results.
