    Default itch and dandruff with finasteride

    Hi everyone

    I've started a topic before (Approx one year ago: https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/thread......?highlight=). Back than, i developed some bad itch 4 months into fin. Whatsoever, i did quit cold turkey back then and the itch disappeared but not my hair loss. So I decided to give Fin a second try at a lower dose. Now I’m at 0.25 mg EOD. Before getting on Fin, I was shedding 200 - 300 Hairs a day regardless. I also have to mention, that i tie my hairs together so i hardly lose a hair during the day. Therefore all ends up in the brush.

    Since 2 Months I’m on 0.25 mg EOD. I had some sides (reduced libido) in the beginning, but they are gone now. I even get morning wood and random boners during the day like before starting fin again. So far so good. But about 2 weeks ago this fu***** itch came back with an increased shedding. Now the itch occurs everywhere (MPB zones, back of the head, behind the ears, temples,...). Since then, I lose tons of hair each day (counted twice: brushed my hair AFTER showering and got 500+ hairs...) Also I’ve developed quite a lot dandruff which I didn't have before. The thinning is diffuse but worse in the MPB regions (temples). I don't think I lose hairs on the back of my head.

    I really don’t know what tot do now. Actually I don’t want to quit fin, since this could just be the "fin Shed". On the other hand I don't know whether fin is triggering some sort of SD and actually making my hair loss worse.

    Had anyone a identical experience? Until now i was able to hide the temple recession pretty good. But the last two weeks it has gotten worse If I’m going to continue lose hairs at this rate, well...

    Best regards
