Can Finasteride reverse the miniaturisation process? (photos)

KionuOct 10, 2018
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.

This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
