community Oral minoxidil + microneedling - pointless?

community People need to start accepting that only medical therapy (Fin/Dut) can save your hair in the long run.
Minoxidil can regrow hair but doesn't address the underlying issue of DHT, leading to continued hair loss. Users discuss their experiences with finasteride and dutasteride, mentioning side effects, personal outcomes, and alternatives like microdosing topical finasteride.
community Progress: From June 2022 (7 months of min + fin) to now (1 year) — I’ve lost so much density in this period and I have no idea why. I was getting pretty good resultup until that point. Is there anything else I can try? I’ve tried min, fin, tretinoin, micro needling, and castor oil. I feel hopeless.
The user lost hair density after 7 months of using minoxidil and finasteride and is seeking advice on other treatments after trying tretinoin, microneedling, and castor oil. Suggestions include checking for scalp conditions like eczema or psoriasis, changing minoxidil brands, and questioning hair dryer use and finasteride dosage.
