I’ve started top minoxidil in 2023 for 8 months I saw great results from me 3 I came back on 1,5 with a lot of thickness but it all went away after the 8 months lost ground again and two months after I added fin 1,25 I saw an improvement the first three months than I had a shedding on fin I think that pushed back my corners but the overall thickness was the same not noticeable thinning at the time. On September of 2024 I thought of starting oral minoxidil because it’s stronger to fill the corners cause I had baby hairs there.however since I started I am shedding from September till now and I noticed that my hair in the top front are thinner and my scalp is vissible. However I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism on January of 2025 and started treatment but the thinning was noticeable this month February. I don’t know why and I could use a opinion about it
