Can dutasteride cause worsening of androgenic alopecia in males from increased testosterone? (Photos)

Hello, i started dutasteride in September 2021 to June 2022 because finasteride seemed to be losing efficacy with me (seeing miniturized curly clear hairs again). November I had a very stressful life event and In early January I noticed I was thinning rapidly in dupa pattern with miniturized hairs on the sides and back. I tapered off dutasteride over several months thinking this was possibly from elevated testosterone that can happen with dut. My sides on fin seem better but still worsening fast
