      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.

      Royal_Woodpecker0007: Hahaha . No i am not naked . This conversation is about Royal_Woodpecker0007's 11-month progress on hair loss medications, including topical finasteride and minoxidil, as well as oral finasteride and keto 1% shampoo. The treatments have shown positive results, reducing his hairfall from 200 hairs per day to 40-50, and thickening his hairline. He plans to wait another year before considering a transplant.

      community Bad experience at Dermatologist

      A user had a disappointing dermatologist appointment where they were denied prescriptions for Dutasteride and oral Minoxidil for hair loss and were only offered a hair transplant referral. Other users sympathized, discussed self-medication, and suggested consulting a transplant doctor for up-to-date treatments.
