Hi guys,
I'm reading a lot of posts on this forum since 2 years and I'm now asking for some advice.
I'm currently 24y old.
My hairloss started when I was 18/19y old, first I saw my temples receding and then a diffuse hair loss.
I think it's relevant to say that I have severe acne problems since I'm 14 (shoulders, back, neck). I took two treatments (8 months) of accutane : at 14 and then at 17.
It stopped my acne and my hair was much more healthy (less oily), for some years.
It came back when I was 21 and I still have a lot of acne in the back of my head, under my hairs.
At 22, I began to saw my scalp with my hairs wet. I decided to do something so I went to a specialist.
I already read a lot of posts here and I asked him Dutasteride right away because I was afraid and constently losing hairs, I saw here it was the most effective.
He said that I had oily sclap and seborrhoeic dermatitis because he saw a few white/yellow dandruffs on my scalp.
So, September 2014, I started taking 0,5mg Dutasteride (Avodart) daily.
Few weeks after, a massive shed began, I lost 100+ hairs every day. Every time I put my hand in my hairs they fall out.
My hairs became even more greasy.
I took it for almost one year, it never stopped. I lost a lot of density.
Decided to stop Dutasteride in September 2015.
I tried Minoxidil several weeks, my dermatitis got even worse so I stopped.
December 2015, I've been 3 months off Duta => shedding has decreased but still losing some hairs.
So I was wondering, can Finasteride have better results on me ?
I started finasteride, 1mg/daily in December 2015, and the shedding was back.
I added 5mg of Accutane daily, to reduce my oily skin and dermatitis without side effects, my specialist agreed.
I lose a lot of small hairs (is it normal?) and some long hair aswell.
I intend to keep using finasteride for at least 6 months (July 1016), and hope the shedding stops..
I'm going to get my blood tested next month to see my T, DHT,... levels.
What do you think guys ?
Can finasteride has better results than Duta ?
Is it worth to keep taking it despite the bad results of Duta ?
What should I do ?
I can't help to think there is a link between my severe acne (maybe too much T, i'll see next month), the dermatitis and the MBP.
Lowering the Testosterone would be a solution ? Low dose of oral spironolactone ?
Thanks in advance for your feedbacks, I'm pretty much depressed at this point.
PS: apologize for my poor english
