My question is: is there any benefit to going to a dermatologist now, since I have already tried most things and I am not interested in a hair transplant? Important information: I don’t have any kind of deficiency, I quit smoking one year ago, and my testosterone (770) and E2 levels are normal. I am into fitness. I still have hair, no bald patch, just slightly receding hairline. I started using minoxidil on my own last December. It helped at first but then stopped working. Six months later, I started using minoxidil + finasteride (0.1% v/v), and it is still effective. I read somewhere that finasteride can help recover the hairline and thicken hair, so two months ago I started taking 0.5 mg of oral finasteride on alternate days, and after two weeks, I began taking it regularly. It gave me horrible mental side effects. I stopped taking it, and everything is fine now, but some issues, like high anxiety, are still present.
