switching from finas to avodart

Thanks for the updates, keep us posted with your progress.

shedding continues, I can't believe I still have coverage after all that shed. But I noticed some new/shorter hairs in my hairline, some of them are white but I don't think that's a bad sign since I've been slowly going gray since 25.
another thing is that I have pink and sometimes red spots all over my scalp. Not just MPB regions, even on the back of my head, and they are itchy. what are they? acne? possible. I had a bad acne problem in my teens and since then every hair dresser I've been to pointed out to me that I had lots of spots all over my scalp. can it be related to MPB? then why do I also have them in my non-MPB regions?

The spots could possibly be a result of seborrheic dermatitis? Do you have dandruff/dry scalp?

I also thought about that however I do not have dandruff nor dry scalp, on the contrary I have very oily hair if I do not wash my hair every day it gets sticky all over

The last 3 times I showered, I had minimal shedding. I am at the beginning of my 3rd month, maybe something will happen, but I also feel like I might be a little late because I very well know that I had at least 20% more hair this month last year. If one year of finas and 7 months on minox didn't help, I am very pessimistic about Avodart as well. Anyways, I'll keep on trying for at least 9 more months and if nothing happens I'll accept my condition and go for a buzz cut and search for other things in life rather than looks.

so 5 days I had minimum shed, I could hardly see some hairs in the drain for once and then just this morning I had a super shed, now I don't see what's going on, I am not doing anything different, why do I get sheds on some days and not the others? this time I really thought that the shedding had stopped, but apparently not

[konfusion]

again days with little shed, especially today there were so little hair in my sink after shower even though I spent the last 24+ hours with extra-hard hold spray in my hair
however I cannot say anything at the moment since for the last weeks I have been shedding minimally for 5 days and heavily for 2. totally confused.

also another update on the sides, in the first one and a half month I thought my sex drive was decreasing, I was definitely thinking less about sex. now, for the last two weeks my libido is on the rise that I actually can't stop thinking about sex all day long, in fact I am seriously considering subscribing to paid porn sites

Hi Konfusion,

Glad it seems to be working out for you. Thanks for the updates again, I'm sure there are others following this thread too.

well six months complete and shedding is here again! maybe stronger than ever. I have no idea what's going on. I don't know if shedding is a result of dutasteride anymore. maybe it's not even working. I got my t levels tested and they are not high enough for hyperandrogenecity, actually Free T is in the lower range. so what is this? I am also having less and watery ejaculations so I am to some point suffering from sides without benefits? why the hell! be fair dutas, if you are giving me some sides at least give me some more hair?
