A user had a disappointing dermatologist appointment where they were denied prescriptions for Dutasteride and oral Minoxidil for hair loss and were only offered a hair transplant referral. Other users sympathized, discussed self-medication, and suggested consulting a transplant doctor for up-to-date treatments.

The conversation is about frustration with dermatologists not effectively treating hair loss and the difficulty in obtaining prescriptions for Minoxidil and Finasteride. Some users suggest seeing specialists or general practitioners for hair loss treatment, while others share their own experiences with dermatologists and the importance of doing personal research.

A man, 26 years old, showed significant hair regrowth after 6 months using only Finasteride, with before and after photos for comparison. Many users expressed surprise at the effectiveness of Finasteride and some planned to start or had already started the treatment, while the original poster reported no side effects.

Most users did not visit a dermatologist before starting finasteride, opting to purchase it directly or through a primary care physician. Some users shared experiences of side effects and emphasized the potential benefits of medical advice and monitoring.

The user is experiencing breast tissue growth from taking dutasteride and minoxidil, and is considering reducing the dosage or stopping the medication. Suggestions include seeing an endocrinologist, using Raloxifene or Arimidex, and considering topical treatments or surgery if necessary.
