Dutasteride-induced effluvium or rapid MPB?
i am 34 and recently switched to dutasteride after 5 years on Finasteride with good results.
About 2 months after making the change, both temples basically become a clump of short hairs that extends way back. They don't seem miniaturized, but their growth seems stunted. Like, certain areas there's no hair anymore, and in the middle is a clump of hairs that won't grow to normal length.
So what is going on here? Is this likely some sort of an effluvium from the hormonal response to dutasteride? Or is it possible that my temples could have thinned out in two months, ironically, this soon after beginning dutasteride?
Note the first photo is from 2 weeks after starting dutasteride, the second photo is after two months on dutasteride.
