      community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance

      in Research/Science  83 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.

      A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.

      in Research/Science  66 upvotes 8 months ago
      The conversation discusses the effectiveness of different concentrations and dosages of topical finasteride on scalp and serum DHT levels, comparing it to oral finasteride and noting the side effects seem to be fewer at lower dosages. Participants shared experiences and referenced a chart indicating similar scalp DHT reduction with 0.025% topical finasteride as with 1mg oral finasteride, but with fewer side effects.

      community Should I start minoxidil before finasteride?

      in Treatment  3 upvotes 1 year ago
      A 21-year-old male from Bangladesh is experiencing hair loss and was advised by a dermatologist to use ketoconazole shampoo, anti-fungal treatments, biotin, and 5% minoxidil, with finasteride to be considered after six months. The user is unsure whether to follow this advice or start finasteride immediately alongside minoxidil.
