Because he had a patient who got PFS after 10 years of fin. Since then, he doesn't prescribe fin anymore. It's over. What was the odds to meet a dermatologist who has a patient with PFS? Very low. Most doctors won't prescribe fin because of fear mongering in medical news in my country (France)
Minoxidil gave me bad side effects (palpitations, chest pain, dyspnea, tingling in hands...)

Drugs to avoid, in the name of better patient care - 2021 update
New drugs to avoid: finasteride 1 mg, piracetam, esketamine, etc.
Two drugs were added to our 2021 list of drugs to avoid because their adverse effects are disproportionate when weighed against their weak efficacy or the benign condition for which they are authorised. They are finasteride 1 mg, authorised for use in men with male-pattern baldness, and the "vasodilator" piracetam, authorised for various clinical situations including vertigo and cognitive impairment.
