OP is considering Bicalutamide for female AGA and TE but is concerned about its side effects and effectiveness compared to Finasteride. OP is also using Minoxidil and Spironolactone but is experiencing significant shedding and is unsure if it's androgen-driven or due to Minoxidil changes.
community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community Please explain this Minoxidil phenomena
The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hair growth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hair growth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hair growth.
community Has anyone powered through the creatine shedding (via increased androgen receptor sensitivity) and stabilized?
Creatine may cause increased hair shedding due to androgen receptor sensitivity, despite limited evidence. The user is using dutasteride and minoxidil and seeks advice on whether shedding will stabilize, with suggestions including GHK-Cu and RU58841.
community Well, I guess this puts the scalp tension theory to bed
Hair loss discussion includes various causes like DHT, blood flow, and skin fibrosis. Treatments mentioned are Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
