It seemed to thicken for 3 months but last 3 months its thinning out like crazy, losing structure, fullness, and you can see deep into the line if I style it up.

In the past, the recession was more localized. One side recedes, then a few months later the other side recedes and catches up. This time it's the whole hairline losing ground at once, even at the middle forelock area.

They all said dutasteride could mess up your hairline, but no idea if its a dutasteride cycle or just regular recession. Not anything to do but wait it out, but man this sh*t is scary.

You may be a nonresponder. Get your DHT levels checked in the blood. If they are low continue dutasteride but add topical minoxidil & RU.

If your DHT is not low, it is doing nothing for you and you should stop it and go to high dose topical RU & minoxidil.

Post pics bro. Same thing happened to me with finasteride but i didnt get better, only worse. Since you seemed to have initial good results i would say to stick it out for a while. Any reason you didnt try finasteride first?

How long have you been on finasteride? I tried it first but the hormonal fluctuations gave me bad sides. dutasteride has a longer half life and is seems to stabilize me hormones better

Same story bro.

How long have you been on dutasteride?
