Bilateral Malignant Melanoma of the Uvea

Male-pattern baldness might increase UVB exposure on the scalp, potentially affecting vitamin D and skeletal health. The hypothesis is debated, with some seeing it as a minor benefit in specific contexts.

A 22-year-old male uses dutasteride, a serum with 10% minoxidil and 0.5% finasteride, and microneedling for diffuse androgenetic alopecia. Progress pictures show changes from July 2025 to February 2026.

Users discussed hair loss treatments, specifically 0.1% latanoprost with melatonin, caffeine, and biotin. Other treatments mentioned include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, and microneedling.

A 30-year-old experienced mild erectile dysfunction and low libido on 1 mg finasteride, which resolved after reducing the dose to 0.5 mg, but noticed a drop in sperm count. Despite these side effects, they achieved good hair density improvement over three years without using minoxidil.

The user has been using topical finasteride and minoxidil for two years with decent regrowth and recently added microneedling to their routine. They are questioning if the small hairs observed are new regrowth from microneedling or just vellus or miniaturized hairs.

A person shared their hair regrowth journey using HIMS topical treatments with finasteride, minoxidil, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and microneedling. They also discussed their transition as a transgender woman and the positive impact of HRT on hair recovery.
