I've noticed hair loss when I was norward1(diffuse thinner).
Have been using topical finasteride for 1 year and saw no result switched to 0.5mg daily for 6 months and my hair became thinner.
I should add that have used minoxidil for 6 months and stopped due to no change(same for stemoxydine). for the past month, I returned to use minoxidil 5% with retinol, and no change (been 2 months) even worse.

any advice?

What brand Topical Finasteride are you using? Also have you seen a dermatologist to determine your Hairloss type…..

yeah its men pattern baldness, I'm defuse thining
Right, so what is your full regime only Topical Finasteride? What brand or you mixing yourself with tablets? You use any ketaconazole shampoo and is your scalp clean from sebum? Using topical will not help much unless your scalp is clean. I can suggest try a few methods to clean the scalp, as I been using topical Finasteride for years. I pre cleanse my scalp with dawn dish wash detergent and apple cider vinegar prior to any shampoo or topicals, clogged pores and hard sebum will not help topical absorption.

I've been using ketaconazole cuz of dandruff. Moved to oral(finasteride) to not worry about it. taking .5mg of finasteride every day.
sadly no result. next week I will take a vitamin D supplement(didn't go outside to the sun the last year due to covid ).
if it will not work I will try to use 10% minoxidil with retinol acid to increase sulfate enzyme

Try to clean your scalp as best you can & use a caffeine topical on scalp.
