Went on spiro to help with the acne 4 years ago. Was on for several years no problem. I stopped taking it a year ago for a period of 6 months. After this started a lot of shedding and some blading on crown. I started back on spiro and rogaine. Slowly getting worse. Assuming androgenetic based on onset and history of hormonal acne. DO NOT have PCOS

I don't see Tretinoin improving this condition, nor will Minoxidil make a substantial difference. Yes, fine baby hairs, but not much more. You'll need to limit the tension/traction. Hair Restoration may also be a solution.
There are several medications which may help slow down your hair loss. Minoxidil is probably not one of them however as I have rarely seen great results with it.
