The user has been using finasteride for a year but is experiencing thinning in some areas and is unsure how to proceed. Suggestions include trying minoxidil for regrowth or consulting a dermatologist about adjusting the finasteride dosage.

Minoxidil and finasteride are more effective for diffuse thinning and crown balding because these areas have miniaturizing but still alive hairs that respond well to treatment. The hairline is less responsive to these medications due to its androgen sensitivity and often requires a transplant for restoration.
