      Switching from finasteride and topical minoxidil to oral minoxidil and dutasteride worsened hair condition, leading to frustration and heart issues, prompting a return to topical treatments and the addition of tretinoin. Patience and consistency are advised, as these treatments can take years to show results, and abrupt changes may cause shedding.

      community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance

      in Research/Science  81 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.
