Asked By:Fierce931768 in Smithtown, New York

Hi, I am a Male aged 27 i started taking a topical solution of Finasteride .25% with Minoxidil 8% in March and received great results initially. My hair density had increased as well as regrowth of my hairline. I also dermaroll with a .25 roller before each application. I apply the solution once daily at night with a 1 ML dropper. Since November, i noticed my hair starting to shed more and results fading. I'm wondering what my best course of action is and considering adding .25 oral Fin in AM
