A numbing cream ad is not a diagnosis. Photograph; ask what is in the syringe and who injects.
Oral dutasteride is approved for hair in some countries and off-label in others. Mesotherapy protocols vary wildly. Infection, necrosis, and uneven placement are procedure risks. This page will not invent a PMID. Related: dutasteride-versus-finasteride — different URL.
Do not skip labelled minoxidil because a “meso course” was sold. Do not start oral 5AR from an Instagram before-after without diagnosis. Pregnancy handling of 5AR still applies.
Fever, spreading redness, or skin dying at injection sites is care now. This is not medical advice.
