Is it possible topical Dutasteride is worsening hair loss?

Asked By:hzur in Cambridge, Massachusetts

11 years ago I was diagnosed with AGA (26 yrs old). Tried finsterid but had awful side ef, so I stop. Loss has been focused on temples. 1.5years ago started minoxidil topical & oral (first 2mg, now 4mg) which worked OK. To boost response doctor prescribed to keep oral and change to minox + Dutasteride topical. But 4 months later I have been enduring massive shedding, losing density and hairs falling are miniaturized as never before. Is dut making things worse? Should I go back to only minox?
