    TLDR Clascoterone cream effectively reduces acne severity and is safe for patients 12 and older.
    This case series from a Canadian dermatology clinic evaluated the real-world use of clascoterone cream 1% in 10 patients with acne vulgaris, ranging from mild to severe. The study found that clascoterone cream, a topical androgen receptor inhibitor, effectively reduced acne severity over time, demonstrating its efficacy and favorable safety profile for patients aged 12 and older. The cream's versatility is highlighted as it can be used alone or with other treatments, helping to mitigate side effects and prevent acne relapse. Additionally, clascoterone shows promise in treating other dermatological conditions, indicating its broader potential in dermatology.

      community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

      in Research/Science  63 upvotes 2 years ago
      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.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.

      A 15-year-old is concerned about hair loss, possibly at Norwood 2 or 3, and is using shampoos and conditioners recommended by a trichologist. Suggestions include considering topical minoxidil and consulting a doctor about topical anti-DHT treatments like finasteride or RU58841, but avoiding 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors at this age.
