community Are Minoxidil & Finasteride/Dutastide the only REAL things that work? Is there anything else I can do for diffuse thinning that actually works on top of these?
Minoxidil and finasteride are the main effective treatments for hair loss. RU58841 is discussed as a potential option but has concerns about safety and side effects.
community Diffuse thinning is the worst. Nothing helps.
