hi just a quick update... i am getting tiny little vellus hair everywhere
hopefully these turn into terminal growth..... i am also getting comments that my hair from the front looks thicker.....
also i am getting dandruff for the first time in 2/3 years?! thought nizoral would have stopped dundruff....
will get the picture up soon...

some input from me ...
im a diffuse thinner and a few yrs older than u
i took finasteride for 9 months and saw overall thinning and slight crown fill, but i wanted thickening and regrowth so i started dutasteride @ 1mg day ... the finasteride caused a big shed initially (weeks 2 - 4)
been on dutasteride for almost 1.5 yrs now, switched over as soon as my finasteride Rx ran out ... it didnt do much for me
i think i had some fairly good results overall, but still remained thin overall, and now im shedding. i hope its temporary and not my body fighting the avodart ... if it is a shed, im hoping for a good rebound but who knows
i havent begun rogain foam as my hari is long and i wonder how i would regularly apply it, so ... that is my nxt step though ...
Oh
I moved about the same time i began treating my thinning with finasteride or dutasteride ... i moved from the coast (humid) to an inland city so i dont know if it was climate change or drugs that caused my dandruff but i got it at that time ... either way my scalp has reacted to something (ironically i use nizoral now... and befoer i used it i never had dandruff)
when i get out of the shower i use my girls 'wire brush' to comb my scalp really hard ... it rakes off the 'goop' thats on there and brings it to the surface of my combed hair
it looks to be scalp and sebum mix and presents in little beige balls of material ... its not a ton of stuff but something i have noticed
i would assume its the dutasteride doing it ... who knows
