Should I switch from Minoxidil 5 to Minoxidil 12.5 + Azelaic Acid cream? (photos)

February 20, 2018
Asked By:Rahimy in Derby, KS

Currently It’s 6 months that I’m using Minoxidil 5 and 4 month at Fin-astride + Nizoral shampoo. I’ve regrow my crown but not hairline and corner of hair. They recommend me Minoxidil 12.5 cream in £165. What is your opinion would these combination regrow my hairline?
