Senior Member hsrp10 Posted April 10, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2014 Did you get your T levels and blood work checked? How is your scalp, itchy and oily or calm and relatively dry? Also are you losing hair all over (including transplanted ones) or just in certain areas? go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cant decide Posted April 10, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have been on finast for 4 years and started Dut 8 months ago. My hair does seem oily and kind of brittle lately. It is only the native hair that seems to be falling out. I just never saw my hair fall out so fast.

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted April 10, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2014 how are the calibers of the hair? are they thin miniatured ones shedding to be replaced by thicker ones, or already thick hair just falling out? I would examine DUT's effects on your scalp and overall health and the type of hair being shed and then decide to drop it or not. how bad are the sheds btw, within the daily 30-50 hairs? go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted April 10, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2014 Can't, Did you experience an increased shed when you first added the Dutasteride?

Senior Member Cant decide Posted April 10, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2014 Can't, Did you experience an increased shed when you first added the Dutasteride? No. It seems that it just axcellerated hairloss since I have been on it and especially the last 3 months. Not really a shed per se.
