Started taking Fin back in 2018. Within a couple weeks I started shedding massively, including on my crown which had no signs of balding beforehand. I also started growing a lot of body hair. Did some research & came to the conclusion I had Reflex Hyperandrogenicity.
I don’t recall whether I had other symptoms of RH such as acne/increased libido, but I remember I started getting massive growth in my chest/body/facial hair. Since Finasteride is supposed to do the opposite, decrease DHT & even slow growth of body hair, I panicked & stopped taking Fin after a couple of months. Since then the shedding slowed down & hair loss has continued at a fairly slow rate.
Anyone else have a similar experience? Body hair increasing is a sign of increased testosterone, right? Could anyone explain why this happened? If it’s likely I had Reflex Hyperandrogenicity? Or if not, why it happened?
I’ve been debating trying Finasteride again, would this be a good idea or should I avoid?
Appreciate any feedback
