One possibility is that your male pattern baldness is strong that the minoxidil you're using won't be strong enough to overcome it.

Another possibility is that you just had a shed. These treatments often start off killing unhealthy hairs, and then replacing them.

maybe my hairline was just maturing and i'm wondering if minoxidil could damage healthy hair and worsen the situation.

I'm just trying my 2nd lot of minoxidil, I'm on finasteride and my hairline held pretty stable while i was just on finasteride, I think minoxidil can thin out a hairline based upon what ive seen it do to me.
