Dutasteride - Effects Between 0.5mg Vs 1mg

[BaldingHelpMe]

I've been taking 1mg of dutasteride for the past 2 years, I noticed my face is kind of oily, even after washing my face with face wash gel. And once in a while I'd have a acne pimple on my face and on the scalp. It's not the acne I concern, it's those pimples on the scalp and oily skin promotes oily hair.

What if I go back to normal dosage of 0.5mg per day? Does testosterone promote sebum production more or DHT? Which has more effect on skin oil?

Since I've been taking 1mg for the past 2 years, would 0.5mg devastate my hair and void the effort of the past 2 years?

Did you ever take it at 0.5mg?

How's your hair doing on it?

When I just switched over to dutasteride, I was taking 0.5mg. I was shedding a lot, and now I believe I was experiencing Telogen Effluvium. I since upped the dose to 1mg, and had been taking 1mg for the past 2 years. So I really don't know how 0.5mg would do.

When I was taking finasteride, my libido was normal to low, but with dutasteride, my libido is kind of high. I'm afriad it's hyperandrogenic.

So how has your hair been since on it?

I have higher libido on dutasteride as well. Erection harder than ever.
