I tried looking for advice on Reddit but nobody ever responds and my posts don't show up so I decided to make an account here. Here is my latest reddit post with questions:
I'm in month 5 of finasteride with no regrowth yet that I can tell. I have a few questions.
1. Would regrowth be difficult to see with my hair at this length? And am I "bald enough" to notice much regrowth or would I probably not notice until quite a bit came back?
2. I just got a dermaroller 1.5mm and rolled the f*** out of my head. I'm desperate. I know with 1.5mm you're not supposed to do it too often but is this level of rolling okay?
3. The crown is where the main balding is at but it's definitely thinner across the top of my head. From the photos, would this be considered the "diffuse" balding? I think I read finasteride works better for that type.

Also I just started having a big increase in shedding just the last couple of days. Is that bad at this point?
I know a lot of people see regrowth in just a couple of short months but should I be discouraged that I haven't seen results in 4.5 months? I just got a dermaroller so I plan to continue that regularly to help.
Would it help notice regrowth if I cut my hair shorter?
I've been struggling with this for a while but never really got much advice or any answers from anyone. This struggle is controlling my life and I feel like I spend at least 30 minutes at a time in the bathroom mirror picking through my hair to look for any signs of growth.
I'm sorry for so many questions but I just need to be able to rest my mind from this if anyone could please help me with these questions. Thanks so much to anyone who helps
I use finasteride 1mg daily and nizoral 2-3 times a week. Just started dermaroller.
