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 cosmetologist 
Although my dandruff is under control now
My hair fall has gotten worse progressively.she also prescribed me some oil for hairfall(last photo)and some omega 3 fatty acids tablets but it barely showed any effects at all i used the tablets for 1 month or so and the oil for 3 months after which i stopped using it.

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 is mainly concentrated
In my crown region and i do see slightly changes in the hairline too but not significant.Dandruff is still there I have to use ketozenol shampoo once a week and use normal shampoo twice a week (side note- 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.

So yea let me know what y'all think i should do



M17 need advice regarding minoxidil and finasteride
