Oral minoxidil not seeming to work well for crown

19 Basically title. I’ve been taking 2.5mg oral minoxidil for nearly a year. I’ve had high peaks since I was little, with no thinning in the front. My crown however is a different story.

I feel like I’ve noticed it being thinner and much dryer/irritated on my crown. I feel like it’s becoming much more than my mix of a cowlick and badly parting hair on the crown. What solutions can fix this? I’ve been thinking of getting on finasteride as well, but I’m worried it could be like minoxidil that if I stop it gets worse, cause the possible side effects do ward me away a bit. Topical is also out of the question as I own cats that sleep in my bed

1-4 is just different ways my hair parts and rests on the crown, and 5 is me moving hair away to show the full area
