Topical dutasteride is suggested as a low side-effect treatment for hair loss, with a proposed dose of 0.025% 1ml/day. It is considered better than finasteride due to its even inhibition of DHT isoforms and lower systemic absorption.

The user shared positive results after one year of using topical minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, reporting no side effects and fuller hair. They recommend trying topical treatments over oral due to fewer side effects.

The user has been using minoxidil 5% and finasteride 0.1% topically, along with oral minoxidil and finasteride, for three months without major improvement in hair loss. They are also taking vitamin D3, B12, iron, and zinc supplements.

The user experienced positive hair growth results after a year of using finasteride, initially taking 1mg daily but switching to a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule due to side effects like erectile dysfunction and watery semen.

A 23-year-old is considering using a topical solution of Finjuve (finasteride and minoxidil) at a reduced dosage of 0.2/0.4mg to treat crown thinning while minimizing side effects. Applying 0.1-0.2 mL is suggested to lower systemic absorption and effectively reduce DHT on the scalp.

Topical finasteride with minoxidil can be effective but may not match oral finasteride results, with less absorption into the bloodstream. Shedding is common when starting or stopping minoxidil and finasteride, and adding dutasteride and tretinoin can enhance effectiveness by improving absorption and DHT inhibition.

Minoxidil alone is just as effective as when combined with tretinoin and azelaic acid for hair loss. People adding tretinoin and azelaic acid to minoxidil may not see the expected benefits.

The user started balding at 16/17 and tried various treatments including minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride with little success. They recently started applying diclofenac gel to their bald areas and noticed some hair regrowth, attributing this to diclofenac's ability to lower prolactin levels and its anti-inflammatory effects.
