I’ve been on 0.5mg Dutasteride and once daily minoxidil foam for around 4-5 years now and will turn 25 soon. I first started because I noticed temple recession and I have remained stable / improved over the last 4 years.
In the last 4-5 months I’ve noticed increase hair fall and thinning again in the temples. I also looked at my crown for the first time in years and can’t tell if I’m now thinning there too (pic attached). I have always had a visible spot / whorl but not sure if it’s now thinning.
In the last month I’ve started the following things, I’ve started upping my Dutasteride dose to 1mg per day, 0.75mm dermaroller once per week and Nizoral shampoo once per week.
I need advice on what else I can do, it’s only been 2 weeks but the number of miniaturised hairs I’m seeing fall is not decreasing. I can’t afford anything too expensive.
It’s also probably worth mentioning that I came under a lot of stress 4-5 months ago so I’m not sure if it’s related to this but surely I would have seen diffuse thinning rather than more miniaturised hairs falling.
