I think I read somewhere that men in Japan do minoxidil (+dermarolling) for one year and then go on finasteride, which keeps the hair recovered by minoxidil, which can then be dropped. Would this work?

Took finasteride once 3 1/2 months ago for thinning at the top and corner recession. Now I've noticed a lot of thinning at the sides, the crown and to a lesser extent in the back. It's easy to pluck hair from the sides (right side is thinner than the left) and the back, which should be pretty...

Correct me if I'm being dumb, but just to confirm, is it really impossible for a single finasteride pill to shut down 5-ar completely, thus stopping T>DHT conversion indefinitely, or something along those lines like PFS? So basically is it possible that that one 1mg pill still is responsible for my...

My point is that I have very high testosterone, though?

tldr I took a single pill 3 months ago, experienced several persistent side effects since but I'm still unsure if it's PFS. Anyway, I got my blood check results and found extremely above average testosterone levels at ~1100ng/dl (normal range at 17 years is 300-1200) which I suspect is caused...

Asking because I have an unsually large amount of body hair and wondering if finasteride plays a role. I also have borderline high testosterone, not sure how finasteride ties in with that.

I started noticing hair loss in the temples at the end of January at 16. Since then I've always only focused on finasteride, completely forgetting minoxidil + dermaroller (+nizoral) thinking they're expensive and useless when used alone. I now wish I'd started using minoxidil in February to slow...

I took a single pill of 1mg finasteride 2 1/2 months ago. Several symptoms started appearing only after taking it and have remained. I think I have PFS because nothing else could've suddenly caused them. I'm 17 if that matters. Anyway, 2 days after taking it, I noticed immediate changes in my corpus...

So then, how do people recover? Isn't that irreversible?

Is that so? I've been reading that PFS could be caused by methylation, which honestly terrifies me.

Funny how a single pill I took on a whim due to what might've been only a mature hairline might've caused a slew of terrible irreversible symptoms. I cope nowadays by shifting the blame from finasteride, but I feel like I'm a shell of myself prior to taking it more than 2 months ago. It all falls into...

I'm considering going back on finasteride. I did a blood check 2 weeks ago and I got the results. I have unusually high testosterone at 1100 ng/dl. The range for 17 year olds is 300-1200 or something. I was told that examining DHT is more difficult so I don't know about mine. I took one pill of finasteride 2...

I know this is going to sound weird, but my hair loss really started only 1 or 2 weeks after I began obsessively taking pictures of my temples, crown, etc and becoming anxious over it back in mid January. Back then I seriously panicked thinking I had male pattern baldness as a teen, leading me to r/tressless and...

I'll keep it short. After taking a single pill of finasteride 2 months ago and ball ache for 5 days, I've since experienced mental (headache, depression, confusion), penile and libido problems which definitely started only after taking finasteride and are still there without much having improved. I'd like to...
