5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Can dutasteride keep RU or Pyrilutamide gains?
The conversation discusses whether hair gained from using Pyrilutamide or RU58841 can be maintained with dutasteride if the former treatments are discontinued. The user prefers oral minoxidil for its effectiveness and convenience over topical applications.
community My hair loss theory and what I did to stop my hair loss. 6 years of stabilization.
A user shared their personal theory on hair loss, suggesting it's caused by reduced blood flow and scalp calcification rather than DHT, and claimed to have stopped their hair loss by massaging the scalp, using acid peels, and applying oils and copper peptides. They have not noticed further hair loss for six years since starting this routine.
community I destroyed my scalp so you wouldn't have to: here's what happens when you quit topical minoxidil
Quitting minoxidil can lead to significant hair loss, even in areas that were not thinning before, as hair becomes reliant on the treatment. Some users also report losing hair gains when stopping minoxidil despite taking finasteride.
community DHT/Testosterone levels in scalp Fin VS Dut.
Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
community Theoretically won't this be better than finasteride? Azelaic acid + zinc
The conversation discusses using zinc sulphate and azelaic acid to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity, which could potentially treat androgen-related skin conditions like hair loss. Combining these with vitamin B6 could enhance the effect, potentially offering an alternative to finasteride.
