      community 25M | 10 years of gradual hair loss | Minoxidil user | Looking for input on treatment optimization before HT

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  4 upvotes 6 months ago
      A 25-year-old male with 10 years of hair loss is using minoxidil and considering adding finasteride or dutasteride, possibly with microneedling, to improve hair regrowth before a hair transplant. Community members suggest starting a DHT blocker immediately, considering oral minoxidil, and addressing low vitamin D and HDL levels.

      A user shared their hair regrowth progress using Dutasteride, topical Minoxidil, Spironolactone, and Estradiol Valerate injections as part of hormone replacement therapy for transitioning. They experienced significant hair improvement and personal satisfaction but caution against this approach for non-transitioning individuals due to irreversible changes.

      The user experienced significant hair loss after 9 months of using 0.5mg dutasteride and oral minoxidil, possibly due to alopecia areata. It is advised to consult a doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment, as dutasteride and finasteride may not be effective.
