Traumatic Panniculitis With Hypertrichosis

The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride due to hairline recession but noticed further hair loss and is seeking new dermatological advice. They are concerned about the effectiveness of dutasteride and are looking for help.

Microneedling combined with 5% Minoxidil and finasteride significantly improves hair growth compared to using Minoxidil or Minoxidil with finasteride alone. The combination treatment is safe and effective, but further research is needed due to small sample size and short study duration.

Hair loss is linked to a higher rate of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), OCD, and depression. Finasteride and dutasteride are not linked to increased suicidal risk, though some users report mental health side effects.

Tazarotene may outperform tretinoin for hairline treatment with minoxidil, but lacks evidence. Tretinoin is recommended for the scalp, while tazarotene can be used on the face.

The user has been battling hair loss for five years using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride. Despite some improvements, hair loss persists, and they are considering dietary changes and other treatments for seborrheic dermatitis and hyperhidrosis.

Creatine may increase hair shedding for some, especially those sensitive to DHT, but experiences vary. Many users on finasteride and minoxidil report no additional hair loss from creatine.
