Extensive Scalp Lifting: Decrease in Complications Utilizing Unilateral Occipital Artery Ligation and Other Modifications

Concerns about France potentially banning finasteride and dutasteride due to supposed side effects, though no solid evidence supports this action. Users believe a ban is unlikely and discuss ways to obtain the treatments if it occurs.

Finasteride can cause dry eyes and vision issues due to its impact on the meibomian glands. Users have mixed experiences, with some experiencing eye discomfort and others having no side effects.

A user is struggling with hair loss at 17 and has been using finasteride for 5 months and minoxidil for 11 months without seeing regrowth. Other users encourage continuing treatment, sharing their own experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling, and emphasizing patience and acceptance.

A user tried microneedling for hair loss with a Dr. Pen at 0.8 mm and experienced bleeding, questioning if the intensity was too much. Others suggested a less aggressive approach, and one mentioned finasteride as a helpful treatment without side effects.

A 30-year-old man shared his experience with finasteride, taking 1mg every other day, which led to sexual side effects and other issues, prompting him to stop the treatment despite initial hair improvement. He previously tried natural methods and minoxidil without much success and is now considering a buzzcut.

A user experienced puffy nipples and lumps from finasteride, leading to a dilemma between continuing treatment with potential surgery or accepting hair loss. They restarted finasteride at a lower dose with supplements but still face side effects and are seeking advice on whether to persist or stop.
