Can Finasteride reverse the miniaturisation process? (photos)

Question

Hi, I am 25y old and noticed 1.5 month ago that my hair on the crown is thinning (hairline looks still good). I jumped immediately on Rogaine (2x/day) and Nizoral (twice a week) and also started Propecia 2 weeks ago. I went to a dermatologist to take a detailed picture of the thinning area on the crown. Is it possible for Finasteride to thicken up this area? The picture in blue was taken by the dermatologist in the thinning crown area on the left side of the crown.

Yes, it is possible. You seem to be doing everything necessary to help your situation. It may take as long as 6-12 months before you notice appreciable improvement.

When finasteride works, it often reverses the miniaturization process; however, not everyone sees this type of response.
