I'm dealing with dandruff and hair fall, and I've suddenly started noticing some white hairs. I'm considering shaving my head. What do you think, is it a good idea? And is there any chance that shaving my head could make things worse or affect the way my hair grows back, considering the issues I'm already having?

I'm thinking about using finax but at a really low dose, like maybe 0.5 mg per week. Do you think that would still be effective, and should I be worried about any side effects from such a small amount?
Using Finax (finasteride) at a lower dosage, such as 0.5 mg per week, is a common practice, especially for individuals who are concerned about potential side effects or are sensitive to the medication. Potential Benefits 1. Reduced risk of side effects: Lowering the dosage may minimize the risk of side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or breast tenderness. 2. Still effective for hair loss: Finasteride, even at lower dosages, can still be effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair growth. Potential Drawbacks 1. Reduced efficacy: Lowering the dosage may reduce the medication's efficacy in treating hair loss or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 2. Variable response: Individual responses to finasteride can vary, and some people may not respond as well to lower dosages. Side Effects at Lower Dosages While lowering the dosage may reduce the risk of side effects, it's essential to remember that individual responses can vary. Some people may still experience side effects, such as: 1. Decreased libido 2. Erectile dysfunction 3. Breast tenderness 4. Mood changes Monitoring and Adjustments If you decide to use Finax at a lower dosage, it's crucial to: 1.
