Am I making any progress with topical minoxidil 5%?

Hi! I am brand new to this sub and wanted to get others opinions on if I am having any progress.

I am 26 y/o diagnosed with AGA/TE currently using 5% topical minoxidil and Ketoconzole shampoo 2-3x per week.

I started topical minoxidil on 3/31/26 and I am including progress pictures from the last few months. These pictures are taken from the same place with flash. I know it is still early in the process, but curious if I’m responding. I DEFINITELY experienced the dread shed around week 4 and have noticed my shedding has decreased significantly in the last two weeks.

Any advice or support is so appreciated!!
