    Default Should i keep using Finasteride?

    I have been taking it nearly a week now and i have had a tingly itch on my scalp thats been occurring every so often through out the day and its something i have never had prior to taking finasteride

    I hear that an itch can sometimes be related to DHT attacking the hair and if this is the case am i making it much worse by taking Finasteride? is my body fighting back and is just gonna destroy my hair?

    I only take 0.5mg and as of yet i haven't had any noticeable side effects at all beyond noticing this itch and maybe a few red bumps on scalp

    I been told a week isn't long enough to make any difference to scalp but this itch is telling me something is definately going on and i been suffering from non-stop worry about whether to continue Finasteride.

    Well you must of started it because of hair loss. I would rather have some itching than no hair. Most likely will go away...try nizoral.

    I am just spooked by some of the horror stories of those who didn't respond and id rather find any of the warning signs before continuing

    I don't get what the itch is but everything i read insists it something to do with DHT.
