Hi I’m 22M my hair had started receding around 1.5 years before and when noticed I had started loosing hair on my crown I went to a dermatologist and this is what she put me on I’ve been on an intermittent Dutasteride schedule for the past few months - around 0.5 mg once every 5-6 days. I added this to my current regimen which also includes oral minoxidil, topical minoxidil 5%, FolliHair AM/PM, and Salicia KT shampoo. I’ve been doing this since July 2025 and yes I have noticed my hairline really coming back there are baby hairs and even my crown like the initial thinning which started has gone in the start when I started i did get some chest tingling sensation but that all disappeared after 2 months or so but in start of September my eyes reality started to go dry and even my eyes brows skin dried up at the same time whole face skin was drying up idk but after that I stopped taking dut and soon now my eyes and my face skin is back to normal but as I am off dut now I have noticed my hair is again started shedding like in September i almost had zero shedding and apart from that I did notice my semen was watery but now since September when i stopped it’s back to normal i wanna restart dut but I’m scared of the dry eyes
You had side effects with dut that might be due to reduced sebum from less DHT. If you restart dut, be aware the dry eyes could come back. For the shedding, it’s hard to say how your hair will react long-term. Your additional hair treatments like min can still help. If you’re worried about side effects but want to restart, try experimenting with different dosing schedules to see what you can tolerate.
what dosing can I try
i was doing 0.5mg every 5 days before for dut
