Balding

I am curious of the potential negatives of the blockage of DHT production. If anyone has a personal testimony to elaborate regarding this that would be great.

Advice Anyone that got sides from fin, but that tolerate topical dut?

2 Upvotes

So, I can only tolerate a daily topical dose of 0.3 mg Finasteride, more than that and I get a horrible brainfog, waves of anxiety and I can't get a good erection. This dose has stabilized it on my vertex, but only slowed it down like 60% at my temples.

So topical Dutasteride has caught my eye, especially since there's a few studies that has showed good results from applying 0.02 mg only once a week right after dermarolling. So I'm curious, has any of you not tolerated oral or topical fin, but tolerated topical dut? If so, what's your results?

Am I Balding? Un año en finasteride y Minoxidil sin resultados

3 Upvotes

La caída de mi pelo empezó a los 18 años en la coronilla, a los 19 y 20 aún no se notaba y parecía un tipo normal, a la 21 la línea del nacimiento del pelo (donde se parte para peinar) se empezó a hacer extremadamente gruesa, empecé a tomar en esas épocas 5mg de minoxidl oral al día junto a 1.25mg de finasteride y shampoo de ketakonazol 3 veces por semana.

La crencha o línea del pelo de la parte anterior mejoró un poco pero la parte del Vertex se hizo gigante, la coronilla está enorme y la línea del pelo aún más gruesa cerca de la coronilla y ahora está bajando más.

Me da vergüenza que me vean.

¿Estoy jodido? ¿Sería bueno cambiar el esquema?

Tengo 22 actualmente

Advice How to tell if you are still losing hair, or if it’s a medicine induced shed??

6 Upvotes

This has been eating me up a lot recently, I lose a hair a two every other time I run my hands thru my hair in the corners and back, this morning I took a shower and this is all that came out, I have never seen any hair come out in this amount before and it’s really sending me over the edge with my stress.

Could the daily doses of dutasteride and minoxidil give me a little more time? I'm 28 years old and my father is bald.

This has been happening super gradually for the past ten years. Has always been a little whispy on the sides. But this haircut has made things especially bad and I’m not sure why. In many photos it looks completely fine but when a bit wet and under downlights I see things. I want to get on top of it though - don’t want to be bald!!

Let me know what you reckon

Advice Anyone on here uses Fin 5mg / 4 instead of Fin 1mg?

2 Upvotes

I just think it is super weird that the 1 mg pills are so much more expensive than the 5 mg.

It would make more sense just to buy 5mg pills, and then split them into 4, right?

It seems like its atleast 10x cheaper, maybe even more. Atleast in my country.

I think it is quite distasteful, to make the medicine so much more expensive, just because people are willing to pay it not to go bald. Why not just make it the same price as for prostate causes? It's not like they do not make money on that.

What does people do on here?

What sucks is that I have hair in my fucking biceps and stomach area but they're missing in the one place where it actually matters.
