I've been on finasteride for about a month and the itch has definately reduced. My head only itches very occasionally now but it has not completely gone. I'm just wondering if anyone has had success with finasteride and still had a slightly itchy scalp. Cheers.
When does the itch stop?

my itch comes and goes. I've had pretty decent results from finasteride mostly based on comments from others who don't even know about my treatments. About a month and a half ago my head was itching horrendously. a few weeks later it stopped completely. It's really mystifying but I think it has to do with shed cycles.

same as you, my itch reduced upon beginning finasteride. however, it never completely subsided, and sometimes i would have really itchy bouts. my best suggestion is for you buy a copper peptide. A good start would be american crew revitalize spray. it should completely eradicate your itch, provide shine and luster to your hair, and it supposedly lengthens the growth phase of the hair cycle which should slow down shedding.
other options are tricomin and folligen, but i'd just buy the american crew first and see how you like it. you'll probably have to get it online because most salons won't carry it. check out drugstore.com (free shipping and fast).

also, you should consider an anti-inflammatory shampoo such as nizoral or neutrogena tgel. both are available almost anywhere that sells shampoo.
