I’m planning on making the switch from topical to oral fin (been doing min/fin solution for about a year). Anything I should be mindful of when making the switch? Google results are mostly on Min when I search it up. Does it take time for the oral version to take effect? I’m guessing having a overlap […]

Ive been taking minox for about 4 years now, (fin too) and suddenly in the past month the area where i apply has become incredibly itchy. It also looks like im losing denisty and hair in those areas, even though im not actually getting any hairs loose when i put my fingers trough it. Hair […]
I have been on topical for a year and got the approval to switch to oral minoxidil. Should I expect shedding? Anything else? My patients who switched did not report shedding to me, as I advised them to stop taking the topical when they went on the oral minoxidil.
If you switch from fin to Dut, do you still have to wait ~12months to see progress? Switching from finasteride to dutasteride just increases the effectiveness by 15% at most. Usually, you will see any benefits in about 3 months if you have been on finasteride for at least 6-9 months at the time of […]
I’ve read quite a few posts complaining of visible inflammation of the scalp, and I have experienced it myself, as my scalp is sometimes red, but more significantly mostly on my right temple (where I’m loosing hair) It seems to come and go, some days worse than others. Sometimes for a whole week or a […]
I’m considering switching to Dutasteride, as I’m still, slowly, losing hair, I’ve been on Fin for 8 years (currently on 1/3 of a 5mg proscar tablet daily) – Do you know of any issues regarding male fertility while on Dut? I read a medical paper a while back stating that it affects sperm, and since […]
I’ve been prescribed finasteride by my dermatologist and I’ve been taking it since the 1st of Jan, about more than 3 weeks ago. I’ve also been using Ketoconazole 2% since then for my dandruff & itchiness. Helps alot! So far I’ve been shedding and hair seems thinner, but im being optimistic & hoping for regrowth […]
I used Minox for 9 Months now, didn’t see much of difference in my diffuse hairloss as I always cut it short. However 4 months ago, I started taking Finasteride 1mg, microneedling 1.5mm every week or 2 weeks. I saw huge improvement in my hair in the last 4 months (Pictures of improvement after 4 […]
First of all I am very thankful for the information you provide on this subreddit, it is invaluable to me and a lot of other people. About two months ago I got prescribed a generic propecia 1 mg from my dermatologist here in Sweden. As a student at university I can cover the cost but […]
I know this question might be silly, but I’m a little concerned. Some nights I find myself waking up from my sleep while itching my scalp really hard, like nails digging in a little in my scalp. Nothing too intense of course, but just enough to have some flakes peeling off. I’m kind of freaking […]
I keep trying to find online stories of people who were not responders to fin switching to dut and at least maintaining but throughout my googling I cannot find a single one. Quite the opposite actually, people keep saying it did nothing. I switched to dut after not responding to fin three weeks ago. Does […]
I recently switched to once a day from two because of some reasons. After that I saw heavy hairfall on my head and made me anxious. I used to head bath daily in the morning and I didn’t do shower from the day i switched to once a day of minoxidil.Is the sudden hairfall because of […]
I have heard this complaint before so I must believe that the Quality Control that the FDA is supposed to enforce, is not happening. To keep your costs down, you can get Proscar 5mg and split it into quarters as this medication is made by Merck as is Propecia (brand name). Almost 7 years on […]
Shedding after switching Finasteride supply source may reflect a counterfeit drug or a faulty production lot. Check the source and go back to where you originally got it from. I have seen this even in good stores when they purchase off-brands of genetic finasteride. Hair loss from Finasteride withdrawal may become permanent so act quickly […]
I have been itching and trying to avoid scratching my head. I use minoxidil and various lotions but without effect. Suggestions?? Minoxidil is an irritant and it can cause problems, but itching can be a sign of healing. I recommend that you never scratch the graft area as it will cause grafts to come out […]
