      The user experienced significant hair regrowth over a year using topical finasteride (0.1%) and minoxidil (7%), along with Ketoconazole shampoo, and recently switched to dutasteride and plans to add oral minoxidil. They managed side effects like oily skin and itchiness with a corticosteroid and chose topical treatments initially to limit systemic exposure.

      The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride due to side effects and is experiencing fewer side effects with dutasteride, though some scalp itching has occurred. Blood tests show elevated testosterone and estrogen, low DHT, and normal liver and cholesterol levels, leading the user to feel confident in the long-term benefits of dutasteride for hair regrowth.
