Hello all,

started with a derm looking into possible treatment for thinning. I did my research first and considering finasteride to get to root of the issue. Anyway, she seems to have had some bad, anecdotal cases with sides including refractory depression came into play and wants to start with topical finasteride/min mix.

I don’t see much posted or written about it. I saw some results on reddit that were fantastic but still just don’t know enough about it. I get the theory behind it: same to very similar treatment/results with localized treatment causing lower to no sides. But Id to hear from someone with experience.

I know the price is significantly more but that isn’t a worry of mine.

Topical finasteride has 0 sides!

There can be possible sides but I found compared to oral Topical Finasteride best suited me.

Wonder why most people are on the pill? Especially that most of these compounds have min in it too which is kind of a one stop shop for treatment. Easier to have two products in one place.

I think more people are learning into Topical mixtures, I started because Topical gave me less side effects.
