Hey guys, I started my stack mid June which is 0.5mg DUT (generic) and 2.5mg MIN. I tried to implement a topical compound with 7.5% MIN, 0.1% DUT, and 0.0125% Tretinoin but my scalp starting flaking at the crown so I have to pause that and maybe discontinue all together until my scalp barrier heals back there.
I was super motivated at first and planned on implementing even more into my stack like microneedling, PGD2 suppression, and even adding another topical anti androgen like RU58841 to maximize results. However I am feeling so hopeless right now and don’t know whether I should even bother fighting it anymore. I don’t know how much improvement I can get from here but my plan was treatment for 6 months to a year to gain back as much ground as I can and then go with a transplant in hopes to achieve at least full coverage from the crown to mid scalp but I worry I might be too far gone.
Ive noticed my hairline and peak have improved a lot but haven’t noticed anything towards the crown/mid scalp yet and it has me feeling defeated.
I guess what I’m looking for is any advice based on the pictures and information or anyone who was worse off or around the same as me and made a decent comeback. I am looking for brutal honesty too if I should just give up, accept it, and live the rest of my life miserable and antisocial which is completely opposite of who I really am but this has destroyed my confidence. Feel free to ask questions as I am kind of emotional right now and don’t know if I wrote this well or not. Thanks guys.
