Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Pediatric Patients Treated with Finasteride: A Case Series

A user is seeking advice on adding dutasteride to their finasteride regimen to stop DHT-related scalp itch. They have tried selenium sulfide and ketoconazole shampoos with temporary success.

Switching from finasteride to dutasteride improved erectile dysfunction and was more cost-effective with insurance. Users discussed the benefits of dutasteride, minoxidil, and GHKCU peptide for hair and skin health.

The user experienced persistent acne and skin issues with dutasteride, leading them to stop its use. They switched to finasteride, which caused mild acne and potential liver concerns, prompting consideration of alternative treatments like topical finasteride and GHK-Cu.

The conversation discusses adding dutasteride to a finasteride regimen for potential hair regrowth or thickening. Some users report positive results with the combination, while others caution about side effects like reduced libido.

The user experiences severe side effects from finasteride and dutasteride, including low libido and anxiety, and is currently using oral minoxidil despite shortness of breath. They are seeking alternative treatments for hair loss, having tried pyrilutamide, fluridil, and RU58841 with no success, and are considering future treatments or a hair transplant.

Finasteride and dutasteride are essential for stopping hair loss, while natural remedies are ineffective. Minoxidil can be added if needed, but blocking DHT is crucial.
