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

RahimyFeb 20, 2018
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?

Use Nizoral only twice a week. It can promote hair growth in 2% concentration used twice a week. You could have delayed allergy or irritation, But for any reason if you are seeing hair loss, try stopping it and check if the hair fall improves?
