Hey everyone 
I've been facing really bad hairfall for the past 8 months or so.
History:
I've had hairfall since October of 2024 it was not alot, maybe around 40 to 50 strands everyday if i combed my hair and I also had really severe dandruff for which I had to visit a dermat
Although my dandruff is under control now
My hair fall has gotten worse progressively 

Current status:-
Now I lose about 80 to 90 hair strands everyday 
And I've started to see less and less hair density every month.My hairfall seems to be concentrated on the crown region, my hairline is alsk receding but a much lower rate.Dandruff is still there I have to use ketozenol shampoo once a week and use normal shampoo twice a week (also i turned 18 a few weeks ago)

Genetics:- dad is bald 
Mother side men are mostly bald too


Dermatologist advice:- (Dr nikita [clear skin clinic thane maharashtra] )
My dermat gave me minoxidil 5 %+ gain and some tablets (i have to take for 1 month) and she also asked me to take a blood test to test for deficiencies before my next visit. She also prescribed the shampoo for my dandruff.


Main problem:-
I have seen that minoxidil causes initial shedding and for some people it lasts for a along time. And a lot of people don't really see any good results either and they become bound to using minoxidil.
I am afraid i could be one of the unlucky ones.
Which is why I was thinking bout asking my dermat to prescribe me finasteride only as it will stop my hairfall. Im ok with the amount of hair i have right now if I can keep this much hair I'll be satisfied. Which is why i think i should only use finasteride to stop my hairfall.

Pls share your opinion on this.
