Asked By:jeollado in South Korea, KR

I'm almost 26 years old and I have been taking 1mg Finasteride for almost 3 years and have maintained well. Just recently started shedding and thinning again on the hairline and I was shocked to see how thin my hair has started to look while wet. Is it worth starting Minoxidil? Some doctors here (in Korea) have told me that it won't help me and I should switch to Dutasteride or get a hair transplant. Will minoxidil make my hair worse? Or will it extend the effects of Finasteride?
