Asked By:JCHAN54 in California, Maryland

Does the amount of dht increase at certain times in a person's life? Asking because I have used generic 5% liquid minoxidil since 16 and now 28. Has helped maintain my hair but recently over the past 6 months it seems like my hair is thinning more and more everywhere especially in the crown which has never been an issue. Just wondering what the most likely cause or contributor is(increase dht, increased stress, maybe ingredients changed). Thank you.
