Chronic Treatment Regimens for Hirsutism in Women: Effect on Blood Production Rates of Testosterone and on Hair Growth

The conversation discusses using estradiol mesotherapy to replicate hormone replacement therapy results while minimizing systemic exposure. It also covers the use of Spironolactone cream, which reportedly has no systemic side effects, and the potential risks of using bicalutamide and Spironolactone in men.

Some users have experienced good hair regrowth with estradiol, cyproterone acetate, spironolactone, and bicalutamide, but these treatments may cause feminization and other side effects. It's advised to consult a doctor before using these treatments, as they can lower testosterone and have significant risks.

A user experienced hair thinning after using tamoxifen and bupropion and is now using topical dutasteride, alfatradiol, melatonin, adenosine, and specific shampoos for improvement. They are considering using steroids and are seeking advice on whether combining oral dutasteride with TRT/PEDs would affect hair health, with mixed opinions on the impact of testosterone and DHT on hair loss.

The conversation discusses a topical finasteride therapy with hydrocortisone butyrate, estrone base, and breviline. A user suggests oral finasteride as a superior option.

The user is experiencing diffuse thinning and receded hairline, using dutasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole without regrowth, and was prescribed clobetasol propionate 0.05% with salicylic acid for possible inflammation. Other users caution against using the strong steroid without a serious condition, sharing experiences of adverse effects and alternative treatments for scalp issues.

The user is experiencing hair loss despite using estradiol, bicalutamide, dutasteride, and topical minoxidil. They stopped minoxidil temporarily, which worsened their condition, and are considering oral minoxidil but are concerned about side effects and cost.
