Skin, Hair and Nail Problems
8mo on finasteride, top still thinning
I have been using finasteride since the past 7.5-8 months after being diagnosed with androgenic alopecia and still the top of my scalp is losing density, as well as on the right side more than the left. No known nutritional deficiencies, do I have to use a stronger DHT blocker like dutasteride to prevent this? Would like doctors advice on how to proceed to stop further hair loss and density loss on top of and right side of scalp. Thanks in advance.

Hair shedding
I had severe hairloss in jan 2025(burnout,stress, severe anxiety,humiliation constant breakdown-resulted in recur of mental health disease along with severe hormonal imbalance)
I had thick long hair extending beyond waist back then.
Then following the stress,i cut it till my cheeks(january 2025).
I have had multiple meds hair serum since then-my hair takes time to reach length,never reaches the same volume it used to have.I have been on medications since 1 year.
It starts shedding within few months of growth.
This has happened thrice or more.
Attached is a picture of my hair-then & now.
I keep crying since i feel i might never regrow the volume & length.I have lost confidence and in despair.

Skin irritation and blisters on elbow
Doctor, I have new fluid-filled blisters continuing to appear on one side of my elbow/arm. I had burning before the rash and had chickenpox previously. Could this be shingles? Should I continue the mometasone, or do I need an antiviral?
