You've got a fair few, those vellus hairs probably have their own short cycles. I have some that have come on finasteride in a solid Norwood 1.5-2 distribution. It's a waiting game to see if they all become terminal. At least there is something there, it gives you hope. Try to take pictures in the same spot, same camera and put them side by side so people can assess better.
Any sides on dutasteride? I want to add this at some point perhaps.
minoxidil might really help those hairs but I am like you in the sense, I want to avoid it if it possible. Especially as we are not diffusers. Good luck.
