First pic is July 2025 when I started oral minox, second pic is today July 2026. From June 2025 to March 2026 I was on oral minoxidil .625 mg. I just kept shedding a ton of hair with no improvement in those 9 months. Then, in March I started 1.25 oral minox + 50mg spiro. I’ve been shedding even more hair since then (200+ hairs daily) and my hair is so incredibly thin and frail. I feel so defeated. You can see my whole scalp and my AGA is severely advanced. I haven’t got my bloodwork results back yet, and my derm said she may do a scalp biopsy. Is it possible for oral minoxidil to just cause shedding with no regrowth? I have no hope I’ll ever regrow my hair. I’ve literally lost half of the hair on my head in the past year. I thought oral minox would fs work, but it’s only made it 10x worse. I can’t even style my hair properly or wear it down anymore, and I’m only 18. I’ll be bald by 20 atp. Should I stop oral minox? Should I increase my spiro or add Dutasteride? Spiro is also giving me more frequent periods.   submitted by   /u/No-Birthday5148 [link]   [comments]
