    Default Dutasteride, Fin, and RU did not work for me

    After fin stopped my loss for seven months it triggered a nonstop shed that was accompanied by intense itching and inflammation. I saw a derm and she did a biopsy that showed scarring so she switched me to dutasteride and I began taking RU as a precaution. I also started triamcinalone spray for the inflammation.
    Anyways, I have been on the dut, RU, and tiamcinalone for five months now (total of 14 months on fin and dut combined) to no effect, still heavy shedding like 200-300 hairs a day. I guess I am just destined to go bald, this sucks. Anyone have any idea why these interventions did not work?

    Did you buy premixed RU or the powder? I don't think premixed works as well in my opinion.

    Please let me know if this works, or if anything works for you secrethero, I'm running out of time. I'm hoping the shedding stops or slows down when I stop using dutasteride, are you still on it?

    Why don't you see another derm. That inflammation could be due t omany things. Antifungals, antibacterials, steroids could be prescribed.

    The inflammation only started after the shedding and only occurs in the region of loss, trust me, they are connected. I may see another derm although it may be futile, this hag claimed to be a hairloss "specialist" yet says to have never had a patient in her thirty year tenure to experience a never ending shed from anti androgens i.e. propecia and/or dutasteride.
