helps with other DHT-induced conditions, like acne. Did
you find your skin to be less oily since on dutasteride?
It´s still too early to tell, I don´t have any more side effects from dut than I did to fin, which means nothing much at all, maybe a slightly less libido.
I never had a acne problem or a very oily face and I don´t notice much of a difference, none actually. Sometimes I think drugs just pass right through me…
Others have reported a less oily face though, but a normalization after some weeks, but still a bit less oily.
I wouln´t take it for problems with acne though, there are other good drugs for that, that don´t have to be taken up by your whole system. Like creams. Do a search on http://www.hairlosshelp.com for acne, there´s some other thing in cream form that is actually used to treat acne, don´t remember the name though. Acelazic acid or retin-a, one of them :p
