Telogen Effluvium On Dutasteride, Or Rapid male pattern baldness Progression?

[Rocco M]

i am 34 and recently switched to dutasteride after 5 years on finasteride with good results.

About 2 months after making the change, my left temple basically become a clump of short hairs that extends way back. They don't seem miniaturized, but their growth seems stunted.

Is this likely an effluvium from the hormonal response to dutasteride? Or is it possible that my temples could have thinned out in two months, ironically, right after beginning dutasteride?

Note the last photo is from 2 weeks after starting dutasteride, the first two photos are after two months on dutasteride.

Kind of in the same boat as you. 20 years on finasteride and it has stopped being effective? Did you come good with DUTA in the end?
