      community Crazy idea: creatine + topical finasteride

       23 upvotes 4 years ago
      Using topical finasteride with creatine might help reduce hair loss by targeting local DHT while maintaining normal systemic levels, but results are uncertain without testing. Users report mixed experiences with topical treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil, with some seeing regrowth and others experiencing side effects.

      community Is this front of hair from minoxidil?

      in Is this regrowth?  22 upvotes 2 months ago
      A 32-year-old is questioning if minoxidil is causing hair regrowth or loss at the front of their hairline and is hesitant to use finasteride due to health concerns. Users suggest that minoxidil can regrow hair at the temples and recommend considering DHT blockers like RU58841 instead of finasteride.
