community Blood work, is it worth to pay for it?
The user is considering getting blood work to investigate the cause of ongoing hair loss despite using finasteride and dutasteride. Others suggest that while blood tests can provide useful health information, they may not change the hair treatment outcome.
community Dutasteride Users, do you Still Take Creatine?
The conversation discusses the potential impact of creatine on hair loss, with some users sharing personal experiences of increased shedding while others argue there's no scientific evidence linking creatine to hair loss. The original poster switched from finasteride to dutasteride and is considering resuming creatine after monitoring its effects on hair loss.
community Topical minoxidil brand (and form of application) matters. You can be a hyper-responder to one product and a non-responder to another.
Different minoxidil formulations affect hair growth and side effects. Higher propylene glycol and pH levels improve effectiveness but can cause scalp irritation.
community What are your thoughts on pre-finasteride blood work?
The user is considering resuming finasteride after a 6-month break and is debating the necessity of extensive blood work, including hormone and health markers, to establish a baseline. They are unsure if the tests are necessary since they experienced no side effects previously.
