Can your hair thin while you have been taking Finasteride for close to 2 years? (Photos)

alelaj
I started taking Finasteride on October 11, 2017 and I have been taking it ever since. As of March 2019, I have noticed my hair thinning in the scalp as well as the front. How is this possible. I would greatly appreciate a response as well as any feedback or suggestions. Attached below is images of my hair that I took on October 10, 2017 as well as images on March 2019. In addition, I have images that I now got a buzz cut due to seborrheic dermatitis.
