6 / 1000+ resultscommunity Having AGA as a girl makes me depressed
A 20-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia feels depressed about her hair loss, despite using topical minoxidil, spironolactone, and saw palmetto. Suggestions include trying oral minoxidil, higher doses of finasteride or dutasteride, and checking for vitamin deficiencies and heavy metal exposure.
community I wish I were a man so bad. Life is cruel
A woman with androgenetic alopecia uses Dutasteride and Bicalutamide but feels devastated due to increased sensitivity to DHT. She considers wigs, Minoxidil, and seeks advice on options like spironolactone, hair transplants, and therapy.
community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
community AGA/male pattern baldness and loss of hair in the past 6months
A 25-year-old male experienced significant hair loss due to telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia. He began using finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamins, seeing some regrowth but remains worried about hair density.
community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
community Eliminate/Confirm AGA based on blood report
A 19-year-old male with no family history of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is experiencing hair loss and considering using a topical minoxidil and finasteride mixture. Despite low vitamin D levels and normal DHT serum levels, he seeks confirmation of AGA before starting treatment.
