This user has been struggling with hair loss for the past two years and attempted to treat it using finasteride and minoxidil. Despite their efforts, they have not seen any improvement in their condition, so they have decided to shave or buzz their head instead. Others gave advice on other treatments that could be tried if desired.
community Not everyone should immediately go on Fin if they are starting to bald
The conversation suggests that people should consult a dermatologist to understand their type of hair loss before starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride, especially if they have autoimmune issues or low DHT. Some participants believe in starting treatment like finasteride immediately if hair loss is due to DHT, while others recommend ruling out other causes and considering minoxidil first, especially for younger individuals.
