I seem to be losing on Dutasteride. Any advice for me?

Wondering why you haven’t tried topical minoxidil

Generally not a fan of topicals. I find applying them quite demoralising and wouldn’t want to stack any other topicals with RU as I already find it draining applying it every night (and don’t even know if it’s making a difference).

I did think about oral minoxidil but find it confusing to read conflicting accounts where it does nothing for someone, but others get great results. Given dutasteride has done the opposite of what it is supposed to do for me, I’m dubious to put further hope into other treatment options. I am considering it though! :D

It’s pretty easy to slap on some minoxidil every night before bed. I regrew a huge amount of hair with min in about 8 weeks.

There are studies on oral Duasteride & topical Duasteride. On topical the studies indicate Microneedling by itself works a little. Topical Duasteride works a little, but the combination works better than either alone. Duasteride isn’t sufficient by itself. There are other factors causing hairloss for what it addresses. I read lately there are live mites in the hair follicle. This more a fungal issue. We just don’t have a complete picture of male pattern baldness.
