A woman experiencing hormonal hair loss is on dutasteride and bicalutamide, which initially improved her hair, but she is now experiencing a second shedding phase with significant short hair loss. Despite normal hormone levels and no deficiencies, she is unsure if this shedding is normal and seeks advice.
community Second shed or just not working?
A 24-year-old started losing hair at 17 and began treatment with Dutasteride, Minoxidil, Biotin, and Saw Palmetto shampoo in November 2023. After initial success, hair shedding resumed, leading to concerns about treatment quality and effectiveness; the user plans to consult a dermatologist and consider buying medications directly from a pharmacy.
community Second shed and more abnormalities
The user has been using oral finasteride for 15 months and oral minoxidil for 6 months, and developed alopecia areata, for which a dermatologist prescribed calcipotriol/betamethasone. The treatment is helping, but the user is experiencing another shedding phase and is concerned about the effects of the steroid cream and the cause of hair loss.
community Second shed, non-stop flaking, itching
The user is experiencing a second hair shedding phase and increased flaking and itching while using minoxidil 5% nightly and microneedling every two weeks, with needle length increasing over time. Other users suggest the hair loss may continue without the use of finasteride.
community Second Shed recovery Motivation
A user shared their experience with hair recovery after a second shedding phase while using Finasteride. They advise staying consistent with treatment, as it can take 1-2 years or more to see results, and also mention using Ketoconazole but are unsure of its effectiveness.
