Hello,
i am new here and also thinking about switching.
I am 24 and use 1mg finasteride since Feb 2001. In the first two years i had great success with regrowth even in the front, which is my only problem.
The front was very thin before using finasteride.
The next years my hair kept good, had better times, had worse times, in the winter it was better.
Last summer (2005) my hair got thin in the front again, i still take 1mg finasteride every day. I do not make out much hairloss but it gets thinner in the front.
Since 3 month i use the lasercomb with no success until today, perhaps i have shedding i dont know.
I have already bought 90 pills of avodart, they are waiting to use but the lasercomb came between.
I thought i could have success with it and they say: it can take 3-6 moth.
But i am afraid that is is too late in some month for dutasteride?
I still have about 50 finpecias - should i use them to the end or should i at once start with dutasteride?
I have also a little acne since 2 years - must be from finasteride. Some say, dutasteride is good also against acne.
What sould i do? Should i wait until Jan or start at once with dutasteride?
