Hello Mr.Rassman. I know your main profession is regarding the hair and scalp, but I have a question regarding finasteride and acne. you seem to be an expert on finasteride. Studies say dht also causes acne. Finasteride inhibits dht, so can someone with acne benefit by taking finasteride. I found a website that states that in europe, the dermatologists prescribe finasteride for acne.
