Lymecycline and Finasteride

I was stupid and took steroids for a little while to improve the results in the gym. I realised I was being very stupid and doing harm to my body and have stopped. I have been taking Proscar (finasteride) before, during and after taking steroids to try and slow down going bald but with just ok results. While I was taking the steroids I was getting spots on my head. Since I stopped these spots did not go away and I went to my doctor and got Tetralysa l (Lymecycline) to take to help with the spots. This has helped somewhat but I am losing more hair now than I have done in a long time. Do you think the Tetralysal is affecting the Proscar or is it possible that I have some infection in my scalp that may be affecting the Proscar from working?

I would really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanking You

You said you’re already taking Proscar, but is it the full 5mg pill or did you cut the pill to take a smaller dosage? 1mg is recommended for treating genetic hair loss, but I have no idea how much you’re taking or how long you’ve been on it. Keep in mind genetic balding is lifelong and it will progress to a certain pattern. Finasteride is not necessarily a cure, though it does slow down the loss dramatically in many men. I doubt lymecycline has anything to do with finasteride.

Lymecycline is an antibiotic used to treat infections and sometimes acne. I am not sure why lymecycline was prescribed for you. You need to ask your doctor what your diagnosis is and what you are being treated for. Until then, you are approaching your problem backwards! Find out what you have first! Perhaps you’re seeing a temporary stress loss unrelated to any medication you took. Perhaps you do have an infection and that is why you were prescribed lymecycline. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. There’s much I do now know about your situation that would make it impossible for me to provide much more help without typing up a page of random guesses.
