Hey guys, I’ve been taking dutasteride since 4 months and now I notice severe shedding. My corners are worse than before taking it. I’m worried that this isn’t shedding due to dutasteride, but simply the progression of my hair loss. I’m in my fourth month of treatment and the shedding is only now starting, even though it normally occurs in the first few weeks after starting treatment. Does anyone have experience with dutasteride shedding and when it starts and stops? I’m very worried that this isn’t shedding but rather the progression of my hair loss.
It is likely the dutasteride. It is rare that you will still lose hair on dut. If you do then go check for scalp issues like LPP or Sebderm. This can be seen with a scalp biopsy and KOH test respectively. But 4 months and increased hair fall is most likely the dut.
