I've been using topical 5% minoxidil with 0.1% finasteride twice a day, along with 1 mg oral finasteride daily, for the past two months. I'm experiencing significant shedding, though I think there may be some regrowth. I've noticed some tiny, fine hairs on my scalp. It's also hard to cover all the thinning areas with just 1 ml of the topical solution, and it leaves my hair looking greasy. I'm wondering if oral minoxidil is a safer and more effective alternative in this case.
