I thought inhibiting more DHT would give me better result. I couldn't imagine it would be worse. Especially the frontal area.

This is the part I don't understand. If DHT is more potent, wouldn't inhibit more of it be beneficial? Maybe DHT-type-1 is not harmful to hair? The frontal area is especially weak! That does not happen when I was on finasteride.

I've been finasteride user since 2001, I was maintaining just fine. But I switched to dutasteride in 2015, and the frontal area of my hair has deteriorated a lot since! There was a period of time occasionally that my hair seemed better overall compared to finasteride, but frontal area never...

So you've been taking dutasteride since its introduction to the market, how does your hair hold up now? I took finasteride since 2001 and only about 4 years ago I switched to dutasteride. I had good result with finasteride, but switching to dutasteride didn't improve my hair in any way, so I...

Does Dutasteride interfere with natural oil production? Type-1 5AR is in the oil gland, does inhibiting type-1 5AR also inhibit natural oil production? Sure too much sebum is not good, but natural oil is important for healthy hair growth as well. Does this explain why dutasteride might be...

To make myself a bit clearer. Dutasteride inhibits 5AR type-1, which then reduces sebum production. Sebum is a type of oil under the skin, which is actually essential to healthy skin and hair. You don't want it to be too much, or too little, Unfortunately for me, dutasteride seems to reduce too much...

Now I finally understand why dutasteride doesn't work as well as finasteride for me. I found out that dutasteride reduces sebum production to a level that makes my skin very dry. I found out that skin and hair do require healthy amount of sebum to grow. Dutasteride does stop my male pattern baldness, but dry skin makes...

Today I had my passport photo taken. I can no longer deny the fact that my hair is fxxked. 10 years ago, my hair looked thick even the frontal hairline, I was on finasteride for about 8 years when that photo was taken. I continued to take finasteride, never really paid too much attention to my hairloss as it...

Wow, is that the same person? What does he use to treat hairloss?

Take a read of this artticle, I don't know how credible is that though. what do you think? http://www.nickdelgado.com/how-to-prevent-and-reverse-baldness-simply-safely-and-naturally/ Quote: "Estrogen levels play a major role in hair loss but how estrogen effects your hair is somewhat...

We all know to those who have balding genes, DHT is number one enemy! Dutasteride lowers DHT more than Finasteride, it should have been the cure and perform better, but not the case for most. Dutasteride lower overall DHT more, but also raises more estrogen than finasteride. I was reading some...

Have you noticed frontal thining when you were on finasteride alone?

Before I learned about dutasteride, it was all good. I took finasteride everyday and get on with my life. Hair seemed fine back then. After switching to dutasteride, I also noticed frontal thinning. It's weird and does not make sense. I even took 1mg of dutasteride daily for 2 years. I've seen lots of...

It is ridiculous that dutasteride is not approved for hair loss treatments. Why? Is it a business-related decisions since GSK is UK-based and merck is US-based?? I had good results when I was taking finasteride, but after I learned about dutasteride two years ago, I switched. The switch did...

I experience high libido while taking dutasteride as well! But for your front thinning, did you experience front thinning before taking dutasteride once a week? So it seems even once a week, dutasteride will still affect the frontal area??
