community If we lose hair because of our sensitivity to DHT, then why are we trying to reduce DHT when our sensitive androgen receptors are the culprit?

13 upvotes 4 years ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of reducing DHT for hair loss treatment and explores alternative approaches like reducing androgen receptor sensitivity. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide (KX-826), GT20029, and RU58841.

community Sebaceous filaments / blackheads on scalp - are they a cause of MPB or a symptom?

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 1 month ago

Sebaceous filaments or blackheads on the scalp are not a cause of hair loss; it's more likely due to hormonal factors, particularly in androgen-sensitive areas like the temples and crown. The user is using topical finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin for treatment.

community Affordable anti androgens in India?

in Treatment 4 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically the use of anti-androgens like RU58841 and Pyrilutamide, which are expensive in India. Alternatives like spironolactone and concerns about the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride are also mentioned.

community Topicals for sensitive scalp (+sed derm)

9 upvotes 2 months ago

The conversation is about finding a gentle topical treatment for a sensitive scalp with seborrheic dermatitis. Suggestions include using Trichosol/Trichofoam-based topical finasteride/minoxidil, which is considered gentle on the scalp.

community Research: Minoxidil grows hair by suppressing androgen activity (DHT) in hair follicles.

43 upvotes 6 years ago

Minoxidil may suppress androgen activity in hair follicles, potentially aiding in hair growth and prostate cancer treatment. Users discuss the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for hair maintenance and regrowth, with some preferring topical applications over oral due to safety concerns.
