36/male - right side & directly in front thinning over the last 9 months; placed on 1mg fin 5 months ago. Since then the hairline has progressively thinned with hairs disappearing weekly; I also feel a BURNING sensation where i'm losing the hair. I've read conflicting things online, with some saying that's a symptom of mpb and others saying it's actually not. I don't use Rogaine as I fear it would make things worse (more loss); I only use fin which I've seen no progress or stoppage of hair loss yet,

Yes,
Minoxidil can help with hair loss in women over 60 however you must apply it to
the scalp (not hair) and use it for at least 3 months before seeing results.
I don't believe that finasteride has been found to cause any of these conditions you mention nor do I think its logical that it would. Of course anything is possible in a system that is complex as human physiology. Discuss your terms with a reputable hair specialist until you feel comfortable...
Thank you for your question. Your main concern should be ingesting any of the Minoxidil by putting your fingers in your mouth or on your food before washing your hands. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,
