Glossary Androgen-Dependent Conditions

medical issues caused by male hormones like testosterone

Androgen-Dependent Conditions are medical issues that arise due to the effects of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. These conditions can affect both men and women and include problems like male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), acne, and prostate enlargement. In these cases, the presence and activity of androgens play a crucial role in the development and progression of the condition.

community DHT Itch is real. The connection between Acne and Male Pattern Baldness shows this

in Research/Science 64 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses the link between seborrheic dermatitis, acne, and male pattern baldness, suggesting that DHT may cause both skin conditions and hair loss. Treatments mentioned include RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, Nizoral shampoo, and other topical anti-androgens.

community If RU58841 is such an effective anti androgen

in Research/Science 46 upvotes 2 years ago

RU58841 is discussed as a topical anti-androgen for hair loss, but its effectiveness and safety are not well-documented, leading to mixed opinions and experiences among users. Some combine it with finasteride, but concerns about side effects and lack of FDA approval limit its popularity.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

63 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

community Just introduced RU wish me luck!! (+ whats working for me) NO MIN!

4 upvotes 3 years ago

The user is using finasteride, RU58841, and various natural supplements and treatments like seamoss, fish oil, and black rice water spray to combat hair loss, avoiding minoxidil due to dependency concerns. They report thicker hair and regained confidence, while discussing the potential risks and benefits of RU58841 with others.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
