If you’re in puberty, generally under 18 years old, you need DHT.
Having a 5-AR deficiency means that your body lacks the enzyme to convert testosterone to DHT.
What happens if you don’t have DHT?
Blocking this while you are still developing is not good as you could hinder further penile development and you’ll regret this after.
The study below this text shows what happened when patients with a 5-AR deficiency were treated with DHT.
This basically means they weren’t able to grow their penis even though they had a 5-AR deficiency and normal testosterone levels.
After puberty = over for additional penis gains from DHT.
Whatever is being said about DHT and how it’s trash does not apply to you if you are still undergoing pubertal development.

Effects of pre- and post-pubertal dihydrotestosterone treatment on penile length in 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency - PubMed
Steroid 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency (5αRD2) is a congenital disorder of sex development caused by impairment of conversion from testosterone (T) to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT deficiency leads to various degrees of undervirilized external genitalia including micropenis, primarily...
