      Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

      The conversation is about the double standard in the hair loss community regarding shedding when using different treatments. The conclusion is that shedding is considered normal when starting finasteride or minoxidil, but not when starting dutasteride, despite the fact that dutasteride is more effective at reducing DHT.

      A user experienced initial improvement with finasteride and minoxidil but is now losing progress and considering switching to dutasteride. Others suggest seasonal shedding, vitamin D deficiency, or trying dutasteride, while some share personal experiences with shedding cycles and treatment adjustments.
