Had A Bad Reaction To Dutesteride And Made Hair Worse

First pic was March 3 and 2nd is today. I started dutasteride in March 1 and have been shedding a lot in the shower and have been having a itchy scalp all day everyday.

Shedding in the beginning is normal. After few months they regrowth more thicker .

He had a. Bad shed but than all regrowth more thicker.

Did you shedding all over the scalp or only in the front ?

In my experience and many other posts I have read, Dutasteride doesn't really help in the front, it's just amazing at the crown. Many suggest using RU or CB to protect the front. I hoped what was 'shed' at the front would come back but it didn't, my hair just got thinner and thinner

Why are you on dutasteride? You have a full head of hair man, don't be an idiot.

Is it bad to be on dutasteride for early Androgenetic Alopecia?

it isnt bad but probably you are to able to keep your hairs with finasteride which has less sides and is more light.
Are you thinning in the middle or crown too now ?

Hey did you not try Finasteride first?

Same thing happened to me. Finasteride and dutasteride both gave me an itchy scalp. i didn't notice any shedding, just receding.
