5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Any theories on why topical finasteride does not work for some people?
Topical finasteride may not work for some due to incorrect application, insufficient dosage, or individual differences in skin and hair thickness. Oral finasteride and minoxidil are often more effective, with consistent application and patience being key for results.
community Dutasteride Isn't Working? Get a Scalp Biopsy NOW
Dutasteride may not be effective for everyone due to underlying issues, suggesting scalp biopsies for further diagnosis. Users discuss using higher doses of dutasteride, topical treatments, minoxidil, and pyrilutamide for hair loss management.
community What happens to the excess testosterone after using dut?
Using dutasteride or finasteride can increase free testosterone, which may convert to estradiol, potentially causing side effects like increased estrogen levels. Individual responses vary, and some users report changes in cholesterol, hair texture, and side effects like gyno or increased sex drive.
community depression due to losing hair since an early age, 6 months on topical min + fin and it has only gotten worse
A 19-year-old male has been losing hair since 16-17 and feels more depressed after 6 months of using topical minoxidil and finasteride, which made his hair dry and greasy. Another user suggested switching to oral finasteride and provided tips for using topical minoxidil to reduce greasiness.
community Is hair thinning or loss associated with pain?
Hair thinning/loss associated with burning scalp pain. Finasteride helped relieve "DHT itch" for one person.
