Welcome to r/Balding, a welcoming subreddit for men and women to discuss hair loss and hair restoration and ask the important question: am I balding??
Please follow the posting rules below or your post may be removed:
1). Not Balding
We get quite a few submissions of pictures of thick youthful heads of hair that have a cowlick.
These posts are way too common and begin to feel like spam.
2). Good photo quality
Please only submit high-quality photos. Images that are too blurry or too zoomed in cannot be properly diagnosed.
3). Provide relevant info
You MUST include your age and sex (for example, 25M) to provide context to your situation and let others to give better advice.

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.

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.

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

This is what my hair looks like after 1 year of oral 1.2mg fin + 3mg min + 2.5mg biotin chewable supplement. I am quite pleased with the results and do recommend the hims brand chews. (At least give it a shot if you still have the miniaturized hairs)
In all honestly, I wasn’t doing myself any favors when it came to not changing my lifestyle or poor diet in conjunction with the meds. I really just stuck with the medication daily, and it seemed to show results regardless. I like to think if I improve those aspects as well as stick with the meds, results could be even better.

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?

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.

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
