Hello,

I have two questions:

1- I’m planning to hop on topical min + oral dutasteride treatment. Never used any dht blockers before at all, is using dut without trying fin is an overkill? Should i try fin first?

2- What happens if dutasteride doesn’t work? Am i just fucked for the rest of my life hair wise?

Thanks in advance

What the fuck is wrong with my hair?

I BEG FOR HELP BECAUSE I’VE SEEN 2 DERMATOLOGISTS AND THEY DON’T KNOW SHIT

Please take these into consideration:

1- My hairline isn’t receed (i was born with an M shaped hairline, my dad and my uncles haven’t lost their hair at all and their hairline is also shaped like an M inherently)

2- When i do the pulling test, almost no strands come to my hand

3- I have never seen my hair on my pillow, or i have never experienced losing a lot of strands while taking a bath

YET, even though i haven’t noticed any loss visible, front of my hair has thinned.

What the fuck is wrong with my hair? No dermatologists could help me.

As i said, my hairline itself isn’t receed but i think i lost hair from the front. How the fuck is that possible?

Hello,

I was wondering, what happens if you use minoxidil everyday without finasteride/dutasteride?

What will your hair look like in years? Will minoxidil save most of the hair or are you just still gonna bald?

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about starting medication for my hair loss. The problem is that my hair loss has progressed so gradually and consistently that I probably didn’t even realize it was happening until years later. It slowly kept miniaturizing over time, and now the frontal/top area of my scalp has become quite thin.

The strange thing is that I’ve never experienced noticeable shedding. Even now, when I gently pull on my hair, almost no hairs come out. I also don’t notice any abnormal hair shedding in the shower.

So how will I know if the medication has actually stopped my hair loss?

For example, if I get a trichoscopy after using the medication for a year and there are no miniaturized hairs visible, would that mean the medication has successfully stopped the progression?

Or is it possible for the medication to stop the hair loss while miniaturized hairs are still visible on trichoscopy?

This is weird. Either one of them is faking their height.

I want to be able to have a buzz cut when i get my HT done.

I checked a lot of before after photos, they all lacked density on the front area.

Can a HT look like this?

Why do people care so much about finasteride and dutasteride lowering libido?

I’m excluding married people, since if you’re married, you have a responsibility to satisfy your spouse sexually—that’s a different situation.

But let’s say you’re a single person in your early 20s (around 20–25). Why do so many people worry about it so much?

I’ve been using psychiatric drugs since 2020, they already killed my libido and i couldn’t care less about it.

I’m on 4 different drugs now, antidepressants and antipsychocits.

I’ve been going to the same barber for 10 years, and I’m 22 years old now.

My barber has been telling me that my hair was sparse even when I was a little kid.

I also have a naturally M-shaped hairline. I’ve attached photos of what my hair looked like when I was 14.

No one in my family has hair loss.

How can I tell whether this is actually androgenetic alopecia (AGA)? I’ve been researching it for a long time, but

I can’t find a reliable way to know for sure.

I went to a dermatologist, but they looked at my scalp for about three seconds and immediately said, “It’s AGA,” then moved on. They didn’t even perform a trichoscopy or check my blood work.

How can I be sure?

The front of my hair has thinned quite a bit, and I’m planning to get a hair transplant within the next few years.

I’m thinking about starting dutasteride now, and if I don’t experience any side effects, I’ll stay on it for life.

My concern is about minoxidil. If I use it, it may grow additional hairs. Then, when I eventually get my hair transplant, the surgeon won’t transplant grafts into those areas because they’ll already have hair.

But if I stop using minoxidil later, those minoxidil-dependent hairs could be lost, leaving me with thinner areas that might require another transplant.

I don’t want to use minoxidil for the rest of my life.
Instead, I’m considering using only dutasteride until my transplant to preserve as much of my existing hair as possible, and then continuing with dutasteride alone after the transplant.

Does this sound like a reasonable plan, or am I overlooking something?

I posted the same picture before, people said this might be “demineralization”

I saw 2 dentists for this case and they both said “cigarettee stains”

I don’t think these are just simple “stains”. I was in depression and didn’t brush my teeth for months.

What are your thoughts?

I mean, i actually would be so happy if these were just cigarettee stains.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I’ve never had an unusual amount of hair come out while showering. I’ve never woken up to clumps of hair on my pillow or in my bed. Even when I pull my hair quite hard, only about 3–4 strands come out.

If you’ve experienced the same thing, how did your hair loss happen?

I was naturally born with an M shaped hairline and very thin hair.

It was hard to say if i was balding or nah but after getting my haircut i think my front hair has fallen out a lot.

None of my family members (dad, 2 uncles) has AGA.

Why the heck am i balding?
