Chronic Tophaceous Gout Secondary to Self-Induced Vomiting in Anorexia Nervosa

Vitamin D deficiency can hinder hair recovery, and addressing it may help with hair loss. Hair loss may result from various issues like excess DHT, vitamin deficiency, or scalp inflammation.

The user is experiencing hair thinning and has a vitamin D deficiency, which they suspect might be causing the issue, but they are also considering androgenic alopecia (AGA) as a cause. They are currently using minoxidil and are unable to get finasteride prescribed, while others suggest addressing the vitamin D deficiency and consulting a dermatologist.

A 36-year-old man with androgenetic alopecia suspects copper and zinc deficiencies may be accelerating hair loss and is supplementing copper to address this. He is also monitoring blood sugar levels due to previous prediabetes concerns and plans to test for insulin resistance.

An 18-year-old is considering using RU58841 for aggressive hair loss and is also thinking about taking creatine. Users suggest avoiding creatine due to its potential to increase DHT and recommend using topical finasteride instead.

Adding creatine while using finasteride and minoxidil caused skin irritation and hair thinning. Creatine may affect DHT levels, leading to these issues.

Dutasteride can lead to increased cholesterol and liver fat. The user is reconsidering its use due to high cholesterol and lipid levels despite a healthy lifestyle.
