A user shared their 7-month progress using only topical finasteride for hair loss. They recently started a new, non-FDA treatment and will evaluate its effectiveness in 6 months.
The user reported positive hair regrowth after 11 months on finasteride and 4 months of microneedling. Opinions in the conversation vary, with some endorsing microneedling as effective and others emphasizing finasteride as essential, while acknowledging that treatments may not work for everyone.
The post and conversation are about the user's experience with oral minoxidil for hair loss. Some users noticed increased hair density, while others experienced unwanted hair growth in different areas of the body.
Finasteride isn't working after 8 months, and stopping minoxidil led to no regrowth. Advice includes resuming minoxidil, correcting iron deficiency, and continuing finasteride.
