A 25-year-old male with androgenetic alopecia experienced improved hair condition after using finasteride, oral minoxidil, and dutasteride, but later faced diffuse thinning and texture deterioration after a shedding phase. Others suggest patience, continued treatment, and using ketoconazole shampoo, with some sharing similar experiences of post-shed thinning.
