Struggling With Scalp Sensitivity Left By Dutasteride

After stopping Dutasteride because it was giving me an itch and faster receding. my Scalp has become so sensitive. i can't use many topicals or shampoos including Keto without a continuous itch and sore bumps in the areas of receding. the only one i can use that helps abit now is Nioxin 2 shampoo, and dunno why that one helps because it also seems to make me lose hair slightly faster.

For example of what happens, last time i used a shampoo called seba-med my scalp developed a couple of sore bumps that you can see in my image. and that happens with quite a few shampoos now. i guess it could be an irritation but i dunno why and how to stop it.

And i also am starting to think its reacting to face creams too since where my scalp becomes itchy after applying them on my face. so i went for an allergy and hormone test they didn't really reveal much beyond perhaps a 97% imbalance in my thyroid-stimulating hormone. i have talked to a doctor about it and he says he can't see anything wrong so i dunno what to do.

How long were you on Duta for?

finasteride practically cured my itch (it was more like a burning sensation throughout my whole scalp -- as if someone was burning the top of my head with a blow torch).

I was on it for a few months. i regret ever going on it. :(

I never used to have an itch. now its rare i don't have an itch and its also worse after shampooing or using moisturizing creams. id see a dermatologist but its too expensive.

Everyone reacts differently i guess.

I sometimes feel like i have an opposite reaction to any hairloss product
