I'll be honest in saying i am *completely* out of my element on finasteride and dutasteride, as i thought they only helped recover hair on the head and i've been privileged enough to not need that

they reduce DHT production which lowers body hair growth and can help regain thinning scalp hair
HOWEVER
they can have issues with depression as a side effect, including depression that persists even after stopping use. the persistent depression seems to occur more frequently on finasteride IIRC
I already have chronic depression so i'll take that risk, my depression will probably actually improve if the last thing that gives me dysphoria finally becomes manageable
