    TLDR Skin problems are very common in people with end-stage kidney disease.
    This review discussed the various cutaneous manifestations associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), noting that dermatologic conditions were common among these patients, with 50-100% experiencing at least one disorder. Hyperpigmentation was the most prevalent, pruritus affected 50-90% of dialysis patients, and xerosis was reported in 50-75%. Other conditions included acquired perforating dermatosis, calciphylaxis, and half-and-half nails. The review highlighted that recent advances in treatment had altered the frequency and types of skin disorders observed in ESRD patients. The pathogenesis of these conditions remained speculative, involving factors like elevated fibronectin levels and defects in vitamin metabolism. The document also discussed the need for careful evaluation to distinguish between similar conditions, such as porphyria cutanea tarda and pseudoporphyria.

      community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

      in Chat  45 upvotes 2 months ago
      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

      A user started taking finasteride three months ago to treat hair loss and unexpectedly cleared their acne, which they had been struggling with since age 12. The conversation includes others sharing their experiences with finasteride, its effects on acne and hair loss, and mentions a related treatment, clascoterone, for acne and hair loss.

      A 48-year-old who had been thinning since 25 and reached NW4-5 baldness saw no improvement with 1mg/day finasteride and 5% minoxidil twice a day after 8 months. After copying another person's routine, they now use 0.5mg finasteride, ketoconazole shampoo weekly, daily microneedling with 0.5mm and 1mm once a week, and apply minoxidil twice daily, resulting in baby hairs on their bald spot and temples after three months.
