community Attacking DHT synergistically both locally at the scalp and systemically = Greater Success??
The user has been using oral Dutasteride, RU58841, and Minoxidil for three years without success and is considering adding topical Finasteride or Dutasteride to target DHT both locally and systemically. Other users suggest sticking to a consistent treatment plan, exploring different combinations, and considering other factors like potential misdiagnosis or inconsistent medication use.
community Dutasteride thins eyebrows and facial hair but doesn't stop scalp loss.
Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalp hair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
