      community 23M losing ground very after seeing improvements

      in Progress Pictures  23 upvotes 1 year ago
      A 23-year-old male was using 0.5 mg of dutasteride daily, 10% minoxidil twice daily for 4-5 months then once daily, and vitamin D for a month for hair loss treatment but saw a decline in results. It's suggested that the decline may be due to reducing minoxidil application to once a day and a doctor's visit is recommended for further advice.
