How many here have had better success with dutasteride than finasteride? Thinking of switching to dutas; so some feedback from users would be helpful before taking the plunge. Thanks!

I also want to get feedback from those who were not having results with finasteride and switched to dutasteride; is dutasteride more effective and how long has it been keeping your hair loss at bay? Would appreciate some feedback, thanks.

Hi My hair seems to be losing ground after 2 years on finasteride. I appear to suffer from hyperandrogenicity - face oilier, more acne. By switching to avodart, will it help or make the hyperandrogenicity worse? Can't afford to lose anymore hair.

Hi I've been taking finasteride for 2 years and lately my hair has started to thin a bit. Thinking of adding rogaine but afraid of shedding which might not grow back. No guts to take the risk as I might end up worse off than now.

I have been suspecting the cause of my acne at the jaw line was propecia. Hearing that you also have the same condition confirms my suspicion. I have been taking it for almost 2 years, daily and until recently I have cut my dosage to alternate days. I also noticed that when I had the acne, my...

I started taking propecia when I noticed thinning in the frontal area abt 2 years ago. At the 1 year mark, I was quite happy as I saw some regrowth. But now into my 2nd year, not only did I notice the front has thinned, even the sides and areas that used to be thick look horribly thin. When I...

I've been taking propecia for 2 years now but lately I noticed that my hair has started thinning. Add to that, I have acne breaking out around my jaw line. I have never had acne around my jaw line before. Is this reflex hyperandrogenicity? Should I stop taking propecia?

What brands of spironolactone are there in the market? Where can I order it online? Do they come in different concentration? Thanks

I take 1mg propecia per day. Currently using shampoo that contains ciclopirox olamine, which helps in dermatitis. Other than the above, I'm not taking anything else. I'm afraid to try minoxidil because of my sensitive scalp and also the dreaded shed. I cannot bear to go through another shed...

Hi For the first year on propecia, I have slight growth and was very happy with it. But now into my second year, my hair started shedding a lot and the hair feels thin and my crown which used to be thick now also has thinned. Is this a shedding cycle or is propecia losing its effect? I can't...

There's definite thinning in the hairline and frontal area as the feeling is obvious when I brush my hand through my hair. It used to be stronger and fuller but nowadys it's just thin and doesn't hold up well in the wind. Pictures I have taken is proof of the thinning. I'm also not sure if...

I have been on propecia for 6 months and my hairline has never looked worse. For the first couple of months, my hair loss seem to have stopped but it didn't occur to me to take a close look at my hairline as I thought it was still not at a very bad stage. Little did I know that it was slowly...

Re: Rogaine foam excessive hairloss almost 1 month into use????? I came out from the shower today and while I was drying my hair, I realised that there's a lot of acne at the crown area. Before using this minoxidil 5%, my scalp didn't have such a bad case of acne. Is this caused by the PPG or is...

Re: Rogaine foam excessive hairloss almost 1 month into use????? Hi rkim Thanks for the advice. I shall stop using the betamethasone, you're right, it's quite strong and it's causing my hair to really dry up. I'm too scared to go back on minoxidil as my shedding is still not under control...

Re: Rogaine foam excessive hairloss almost 1 month into use????? Hi I'm also shedding badly and my doctor told me to temporarily stop the minoxidil unitil my scalp irritation and oiliness is controlled. I do believe that in most cases of shedding that goes on and on, this is caused by...
