I've been on 0.5mg / day for around 40 days. I have slightly decreased sex drive, I think. But it's hard to really know, because I've also been under a lot of work stress lately. Also, I've had days with high sex drive. I haven't noticed any results, but my scalp practically never itches anymore.

I have been on Dutasteride 0.5mg / day for around 1 month. I feel a kind of pressure near my temples on the top of my scalp and almost in the surface of my skull, like my DHT receptors are hurting the good hurt for DHT. Similarly, my nuts have a weird sensation. It's like the regions of my body...

This could all be BS, but what I've read is that the penis is most sensitive to DHT during puberty and then it gets less sensitive. I'm pretty sure that, at 16, you're still probably growing down there. So you shouldn't take any anti androgens at 16, even topical. If someone holds you at...

I agree that a great head of hair would be worth the money, and it being "dumb" is not a reason to not get a hair transplant. hair transplants not really being that good would be a reason to not get a hair transplant. So I think arfy is making me more objective. I'm not really unhappy with my hair. I wouldn't, for example, trade the...

I'm working on a setup for better pics. Here are a few clearer ones for now: It seems like I've shed a bit after running dutasteride for over 3 weeks, but it could just be in my head. I'm not well enough informed about the pros and cons. I mean usually I expect to have some idea of the risk curve...

If metformin can also prevent or hold off dementia, then maybe it's a good idea to take it. Then again, I've heard that metformin can cause or accelerate hair loss.

Hi arfy. I'm waiting at least a year to get a hair transplant so that I have time to figure out the pros and cons. I learned a long time ago that when I see something I want to buy, I should just wait and come back the next day to see if I still want it. But I should still try to make a decision as soon as...

Is there any real benefit to waiting to have a hair transplant? I just started dutasteride.

I want to follow an aggressive treatment regimen, then get a hair transplant if treatment doesn't get me where I want to be. Do you think it makes sense to wait until I've been on treatment for 12-18 months? I do have have some hope that histogen or some other treatment that comes out in the next few years...

37yo Norwood 2.5 with very slow recession since around 18. Here are my recent pics: Here I am 10 years ago: I believe that my forelock was denser and wider 10 years ago, and my temples had not receded as far back. My goal is to regain some of the lost thickness, widen the forelock, and...

I've been reading this forum for a while and would like to make something clear: A regime is a ruling government. A regimen is a plan. Also, a question, from one forum anthropologist to another: Are people with loose orifices prone to losing things?

http://beweb.ucsd.edu/courses/senior-design/projects/2011/project_20/product.html If there was a 10x10 version of this, with longer needles with thicker walls and no edge, that might work. All that's needed is a 10x10 multi needle syringe attachment and a syringe with metered dispensing. The...

Adding some new pics below. Around 2 and a half weeks into dutasteride 0.5 mg / day + ketoconazole 2% 2 x / week. Loaded 2.5mg / day of dutasteride for the first 10 days, to achieve steady state after 10 days.

Let me put it another way. Imagine a dropper with a 10 x 10 grid of tiny tubes. Place it so that the ends of the tiny tubes are resting on your scalp, press a button, and it secretes 100 super tiny droplets over 8 cm^2 or so. Repeat as many times as necessary to cover the desired area. If you...

Imagine a helmet with hundreds of little spikes inside that sit on the scalp and secrete a tiny drop of topical formula. A person could dry and style hair first, then place the spiky helmet onto the head and press a button to secrete one dose. Does anything like that exist? I've heard of dropper...
