Hey all

Ive been reading a lot that topical melatonin at least seriously stops shedding for a lot of people and I’m wondering if anyone is using this plus topical minoxidil to avoid the dread shed and just get gains?

Finasteride is unfortunately out of the question for me at least for the time being because of the risk of gynecomastia recurrence (my surgeon said it’s possible it can come back).

So I’m curious about this… just ordered topical melatonin and I’m going to try for a while and see how it does or doesn’t help my shedding and might consider minoxidil per my NPs recommendation. She’s a big advocate for supplementation and other modalities but told me she won’t even do them if her patients aren’t on minoxidil too which I understand. She high discouraged finasteride as a first resort at least for me at this point.

Thanks all, happy gains
