A 20-year-old is dealing with male pattern baldness and considering finasteride despite concerns about side effects. Users recommend treatments like minoxidil, dutasteride, and lifestyle changes, stressing early intervention.
community Hair loss and ethnicity - Caucasian men the most likely to experience hair loss
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
community 21M, Thinning on Top with Family History, Seeking Treatment Options
A 21-year-old with a family history of early balding is advised to see a dermatologist to confirm androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and consider treatments like finasteride or dutasteride to prevent further hair loss, and minoxidil, possibly with tretinoin, to regrow hair. Caution is advised with oral minoxidil, and a cardiologist should be consulted before use.
community What the hell happened in my family genes?
A user is frustrated about early balding despite older male relatives retaining hair into old age. Another user plans to start finasteride soon to address their hair thinning.
community Interesting new publication suggesting that MPB should be assessed as a early warning sign for type-2 diabetes.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be an early warning sign for type 2 diabetes due to its association with insulin resistance. Treatments discussed include testosterone therapy and finasteride, which affects hormone levels related to hair loss and insulin sensitivity.
community Why does MPB only affect the scalp
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be influenced by androgen receptors in scalp hair follicles and potentially poor blood flow. Transplanted hair is not immune to DHT, and factors like inflammation and scalp tension might also contribute to hair loss.
