Regimen
Shaved head.
2 days on 1mg Finasterde gave severe sides. Seen very promising results with 1½ months of minoxidil but got bad sides with this too, even at 0.25ml/day. Microneedling didn't do anything as far as I could tell.

Try natural remedies and reduce scalp tension/increase blood flow first. If you chose to start finasteride, do not start on 1mg/day.
