My name is Eric Kw, 51, and had a big setback due to topical dutasteride which whacked my hormones. It's been a nightmare. My brothers, when they tell you topical dutasteride/finasteride doesn't have side effects, please take a pause and DYOR. don't make the same mistake I did. especially a compounded version where you don't know the dosage.

hi Gerard, thanks for this wonderful community. I did dutasteride for only 3 months topically (similar to finasteride) and it went systemic and caused my DHT to drop in half. biggest mistake of my life as they told me topical wouldn't cause hormone shifts but it did anyway. my DHT is normal now after like 2 years but my "performance" is still not normal. I read that dutasteride/finasteride causes permanent side effects. very scary. is there anything I can do? I've tried Black Maca Root (it worked for a while, based on your YouTube short) and also Fenugreek but they stopped working. thank you Gerard.
