Regular Member sheraz104 Posted February 8, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have been on Fin for 19 months and it seemed to have accelerated my hair with such a stubborn and itchy dandruff which keeps my scalp in pain 24/7 and I never had this before starting Fin. I thing it'a reflex reaction to Fin! What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted February 9, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2015 Sheraz, Where did you hear the term "reflex hyperandrogeniecity?" This makes it sound like the finasteride increased your androgen hormone levels? I've never heard of finasteride increasing hair loss. You could be a "non-responder," and the increased acceleration and increased sebum production are actually just the results of your progressive androgenic alopecia? Have you seen a doctor?

Yes I did talk to the doctor about Fin being the cause of my itchy scalp but he thinks otherwise!, I wasn't balding this fast before starting Fin in june 2013 but since starting Fin I have shed not stop and now the top is visibly bald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sheraz104 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 12, 2015 Today it's the 6th day since I have reduced my Fin dose from 1mg to 0.5mg, my itching has reduced significantly. My scalp pain was so bad that even shampooing was a painful act for me and that pain while shampooing has also reduced now. I believe that I didn't shed loads of hair in the last two showers(too early to say this i know). These may not be the direct side effects of Fin but Fin is causing them indirectly(probably by messing up the hormones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
