      in Basic Questions  133 upvotes 1 month ago
      A 23-year-old experienced initial hair improvement with finasteride 1mg but noticed hair thinning after 8 months, possibly due to significant weight loss. They are considering adding minoxidil or switching to dutasteride to address the issue.

      A 17-year-old experiencing early hair loss is advised to improve diet and lose weight gradually, as rapid weight loss and poor diet may contribute to hair loss. Minoxidil is not an option due to tachycardia, and finasteride is not recommended before age 18; alternatives like magnesium oil and dermarolling are suggested.

      Minoxidil is unlikely to cause skin aging at typical doses, and concerns about collagen inhibition are mostly unfounded. Users suggest using sunscreen and tretinoin for skin health, and some combine minoxidil with finasteride for hair maintenance.
