Stopping the drug is the right thing to do. Dutasteride is stronger and the long term history of this drug for hair loss is unclear. The previous post here shows just the opposite impact of finasteride on this young man with an increase in his sex drive.

An increased in sex drive is not unusual with finasteride, as many of my patients report this to me.
It is highly likely that you were over-harvested with FUE grafts unless you had an unusually high donor density. Ask your doctor what was your donor density prior to the FUE. From the pictures, it shows that the FUE was taken outside the permanent zone so many of the grafts may not live your lifetime. Over time, as you continue to bald, the FUE scars in the balding area outside the donor area will start to show and become a problem. The bald area could be the result of shock loss or vascular damage in the donor area from the extensive FUE. Only time will tell
Hair loss is not uncommon following a hairline advancement surgery in a female which will reveal the scar that was made at the time of the surgery. Matter of fact, this can happen with almost any facial surgery and I have seen this in many face lift and brow lift female patients. A hair transplant is the only solution for this which will bury the scar in the transplanted hair and the hairline can be moved further forward at the same time.
Dutasteride is a drug that is not approved for use against hair loss by the FDA. This man might consider abandoning both finasteride and dutasteride until he gets control of his health.

You do indeed have terrible crusting resulting from poor post-operatieve washing techniques. An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. Within 3 days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish. The recipient area requires daily washes as well to keep the recipient area free of crusts. I generally recommend the use of a sponge and supply my patient with a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient area daily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fear of losing grafts. IF any crust is present, use a Q tip and dip it into soapy water, and roll it on the crusts and that will lift them off without dislodging them, but never rub them, just roll the Q tip on the recipient crust. I like to see no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from the donor area gone in 3-4 days with daily washing. To get the crusting off because you did not follow this routine, you need to leave the shampoo on your hair for 10 minutes and as the crust become water logged, then will come off with gentle finger action over a number of days doing just what I suggested.
I have a question about Finasteride sides. I just started on a dosage of 1mg every other day, and so far have only taken it twice. The first day I noticed nothing out of the ordinary. The second day I took it, I was able to masturbate twice during the day, but the orgasm seemed somewhat dull and the semen shot out in a more watery way. And that night, I wasn’t able to get an erection at all despite trying. It feels unlikely that just 2mg taken over a three-day period could cause side-effects, so I wonder if it’s anxiety-related from reading about the side-effects. But of course it’s scary not to feel able to get an erection. How do you recommend dealing with it? Should I stop the medication until I return to ‘normal’, and if these are early side-effects, how long before 2mg would leave my body completely? Thanks.
I don’t know the answer, but the watery semen is a known common side effect. If this continues, either stop it or speak with your doctor about these sides. The drug is usually out of the body within 2-3 weeks after stopping it because it fixes to various tissues in the body even after it clears the blood stream within a day.
These pigments came in all flavors, some with metals, some non-organic pigments and some organic pigments. This industry is not regulared by the FDA, We provide our own unique pigments and have done commercial analysis of some of the pigment in use, very frightening to find out that many of the pigments are purchased from art stores?
I have seen the sexual side effects appear after a man has been on the drug for months or years. The incidence reported of 2-4% was reported over a 5-year period of time, but I agree with you, that it may be more than the reported numbers. Most people, when they get off the drug, will find that the sexual side effects disappear in a month or two.
11 months of finasteride use, but side effects are becoming increasingly real from tressless
LLLT is an option that really does not do much although because so many people use it and are vested in the effort, the reports are not very accurate. I studied patients with LLLT treatments in two forms. The first was an expensive LLLT machine which I offered at no charge to my patients but required them to submit to photography follow-up. The second modality was a Laser Hat. I also required them to submit to photography follow-up. All of the follow-up showed me no a single result that was objective by good photography. Some patients thought that they were better, but things like hair length and products used on the hair change your view of your own hair.
You should certainly see a doctor and get a diagnosis in the case that these pimples reflect an infection. Of course, that is the problem when you go to Turkey, there is no follow-up of problems but you should be able to find a doctor in the UK that will see you
There is not much to say other than good luck for more hair. The drug has done wonders for you and more value will yet occur over the next 12 months or so.
This is a scarred scalp and it will have to be evaluated by a hair surgeon to find out if this should be transplanted or treated in other ways. The wounds still look fresh and I would want to see everything healed before making recommendations for a hair transplant or other treatment modalities
