community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

675 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

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 My understanding of how androgenetic alopecia works (plus FIN and DUT)

18 upvotes 4 years ago

Androgenetic alopecia is affected by scalp DHT levels, not sensitivity, with treatments like finasteride and dutasteride aiming to optimize these levels. Personalized DHT management is crucial for effective hair growth.

The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.

learn Saw Palmetto

Is saw palmetto good for androgenetic alopecia or only for mild hair loss? Saw palmetto may help with androgenetic alopecia, not just mild hair loss.

learn Cetirizine

Is topical cetirizine effective for androgenetic alopecia in women? Topical cetirizine is not an approved product and its use for female-pattern hair loss is off-label. The evidence is one small unblinded pilot study in mixed-sex patients and one randomized trial in 66 women where cetirizine was added to minoxidil; it is unproven on its own.

learn Fluridil

Is Fluridil only for men with androgenetic alopecia, or can women use it too? The only published clinical study of fluridil enrolled 43 men, so its use in women is untested rather than established; women considering it should talk to a doctor, and it is not advised in pregnancy or breastfeeding because no reproductive-safety data exists.

learn SCUBE3

Can SCUBE3 help people with androgenetic alopecia, or is it meant for other types of hair loss? SCUBE3 is not currently proven to help with androgenetic alopecia.

learn Botox

What’s the science behind Botox injections for androgenetic alopecia? Small published studies and a 2025 meta-analysis report hair-count gains from scalp botulinum toxin injections, but nearly all of them lack control groups, and reviewers of the same literature call the evidence low-quality; the treatment is off-label and not approved for hair loss anywhere.
