What about topical finasteride 0.25% that you put on scalp minoxidil style ?  It is true it have clearly less side effects ?

 

Topical Finasteride is supposed to have a better chance of not giving people side affects but your mileage may vary.

Perhaps a reduced dosage would help.

Have you tried topical?

No, i use oral Dutasteride. It's easier for me to generally adhere to. I used topical Minoxodil when younger but the 2x a day application and greasy cheap versions (i was a broke teen lol). So i did give it up alongside possibly unrealistic expectations.

My dermatologist said it's 0 difference because it builds up in the blood as well, after some time it will have same amount as oral version
