    TLDR Psoriasis rates in transgender people are similar to the general population, but hormone therapy might affect it.
    The study found that the prevalence of psoriasis among transgender individuals was similar to that in the general population. It suggested that there might have been potential associations between psoriasis, its severity, and gender-affirming hormone therapy, indicating a need for further longitudinal research to explore these connections.

      community Dutasteride causing us to have… girl babies?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  26 upvotes 2 years ago
      User Kylo313 used dutasteride for 20 years and had two daughters, questioning if dutasteride affects the likelihood of having male vs female children. Replies mostly request hairline photos and discuss anecdotal experiences, with some suggesting correlation doesn't imply causation and that gender determination isn't affected by dutasteride.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
