Want to use finasteride but scared!
So, last year I was down with chickenpox. Yes it sounds extinct yet i got it somehow.
Since then, probably it triggered my alopecia.
So right now i am losing a lot of hair daily. Tried using all the shampoo and everything. But of no use.
I am going to get married next year, my baldness is maybe grade 1-2, so i am worried if it goes ahead and affects my marriage.
So i was thinking yo start with fin, 2 times a week, monday and friday. 1 mg each.
I am worried about the side effects mainly and that’s why i cant start it yet.
Is there any other micro dosing i can do without getting sides?
For eg. 0.25 mg thrice a week, mon-thurs-saturday?
Please guide me, i do no wanna go bald. I am so scared. Yet i do not wanna get erectile dysfunction.

Talk to experienced dermatologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Hair loss after an illness like chickenpox can sometimes be a temporary phase (telogen effluvium), but ongoing alopecia may need targeted treatment. Finasteride is a proven option, but concerns about side effects are valid and should be discussed in detail with a dermatologist. Microdosing approaches can sometimes be explored but require close medical supervision.
Next Steps
I recommend an in-depth consultation to assess the stage of hair loss, evaluate your overall health, and discuss safe and effective options, including advanced therapies like PRP or low-dose alternatives. You can consult me online for a personalized treatment plan and to address your concerns.
Health Tips
Avoid self-medicating or experimenting with dosages. Monitor your stress levels, as stress can worsen hair loss. Early intervention is key to managing hair loss effectively.
