Dandruff

Hello,

I noticed i developed dandruff after i stoped using finasteride, i thought it may have been caused by minoxidil or nizoral which i tried in replacement for finasteride. I have stopped using all of these, dandruff still persists. I have never had dandruff in my life so it is a little coincidental. Anyone else noticed anything like this?

Yes, this was one of my more annoying symptoms. Not life changing and horrific like the other ones, but just annoying. I too, have never had dandruff in my life until I stopped fin. It definitely made a change happen in my scalp for the worst…But then again, that doesn’t surprise me.

Is it still persisting? How long has it been?

Actually I had the opposite problem – massive dandruff before Finasteride, no dandruff while on or since quitting. To me that points to decreased androgen action in the 5AR2 tissues.

It has definitely gotten better. I’ve been off fin for almost two years
