in Minoxidil 21 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation is about a user experiencing excessive hair growth on their body due to using topical minoxidil and dutasteride. The suggested solutions are shaving off the excess hair or considering laser epilation. It is mentioned that dutasteride does not cause extra hair growth, while minoxidil can stimulate hair growth in unintended areas. The user is advised to lower the dosage, concentration, or frequency of use and only apply the treatment to the desired areas.

community Does 2.5 mg of Dutasteride daily really make a substantial difference vs. 0.5 mg daily? If so, why? I thought you just pissed all the excess out, anyway. I’d like some direct user experience, please, especially if you tried one vs. the other.

Higher doses of Dutasteride, like 2.5 mg daily, may offer slightly more hair growth but come with increased risk of side effects, such as sexual dysfunction and sleep disturbances. Many users suggest starting with a lower dose, like 1 mg, to minimize side effects while still achieving effective results.
