It's illegal to possess DHT without an RX, lol so you will be both bald and in jail but you probably don't want flowing locks while in jail.

I have posted new pics, both wet and dry and also with the dry ones, in two different levels of lighting. It's been about a month since I last posted:

Are you using topical minoxidil + tretinoin?

Might be a silly question. But does dutasteride actually work better even though it increases scalp T way more than finasteride? I trialed it for a year after 5 years on finasteride and around the end my co-worker said that the corner of my hairline was thinning. This made me immediately stop dutasteride and go back to finasteride and within 5 months it thickened up again. Could dutasteride take longer than a year to take effect? I'm scared of the increased scalp testosterone, I hear it effects the frontal region the most.
Dr. Rassman a well known Doctor who runs baldingblog.com claims testosterone doesn't affect the hair follicle and it's only when it's metabolized into DHT that it does. So I'm not sure what to think. Maybe you guys have some insight on this. I just want to use the best treatments.
I'm getting on really well with 1mg finasteride, 6.25 mg cypro ED, EOD sometimes, Estrogel 2 pumps in the morning and at night, as well as on the hairline, and minoxidil after which I guess would make it absorb better. My results are turning out to be really good. The growth is mostly in the temple corners, but it's a great feeling when my hair transplant Doctor had told me his design was as far as I could go.
I'll post comparison pics when things are looking more substantial.

This is what retrograde alopecia looks like, thinning at the back of the head and above the ears. People who have not been respond HRT usually have retrograde alopecia, which is a symptom of very aggressive hair loss that is refractory to any treatment. Even the fact that there is several times more aromatase in the back of his head does not prevent him from balding.
I have the best chance of not responding to HRT.

That might be just a fade
I thought so too, but no. Hair is smaller in diameter and miniaturized. Basically, if I answer HRT, the first improvement should occur in these areas, because they started to go bald last.

I don't know about that one, hair is often finer in those areas. Plus potentially having a headset on isn't helping it's appearance.
It may not be noticeable to others, but I remember well what my hair was like before. And tactile sensations too
The package with injections is delayed, I will start HRT in early July

No hrt yet, Im scared of height loss, and tits surgery. Just finasteride 2.5mg and minoxidil 2.5mg
Well, let's see how it works for me. If I'm lucky and I get hair without consequences, it will inspire you. I'll be in the role of the test subject)
Your pattern is like mine. You answered HRT, that's encouraging. Typically, no one shows their hair from the back and side when sharing progress. I have not found any success stories of retrograde alopecia on HRT
Is your hair better now than in this photo? I hope HRT has improved the sides

We all live in a hell. Luckily you guys don't have psoriasis on and in ears + extreme beard growth, shaving fucks my skin.Finasteride reduced the growth of the beard, Bicalutamide made it even more and reduced its area. The bristles are softer, the legs and arms are no longer very hairy - before I was even ashamed to take off my pants in a man's clothes, I was undressing, I was like a gorilla
