A 28-year-old is experiencing hair loss despite using treatments like oral minoxidil, finasteride, and high-dose dutasteride (2.5 mg). They suspect lichen planus might be contributing to the issue and plan to continue treatment while monitoring progress.
A user shared progress pictures showing significant hair growth over 3.5 months using Dutasteride, Minoxidil, and microneedling. They are pleased with the results but unsure how to style their growing hair.
Switching to Dutasteride worsened hair condition, causing shedding and inflammation. The user will continue Dutasteride until 18 months before possibly switching back to Finasteride, while using oral Minoxidil.
Dutasteride and oral minoxidil significantly improved hair growth for the user, with no reported side effects. The user previously used finasteride before switching to dutasteride and minoxidil.
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risks of sexual dysfunction for treating androgenetic alopecia. Users experience varying side effects, indicating individual differences in drug reactions.
