community Can I still save my hairline at age of 15?
A 15-year-old is concerned about hair loss, possibly at Norwood 2 or 3, and is using shampoos and conditioners recommended by a trichologist. Suggestions include considering topical minoxidil and consulting a doctor about topical anti-DHT treatments like finasteride or RU58841, but avoiding 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors at this age.
community This guy loses all transplanted hair?!
A man lost his transplanted hair despite using minoxidil because he wasn't on a DHT blocker like finasteride, which is essential to prevent further hair loss. The conversation emphasizes that hair transplants are not a cure and require maintenance with medications to preserve results.
community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
community Is this good progress? 24M 6 months 2.5mg minoxidil and 3 months 0.5mg dutasteride EOD
A 24-year-old male achieved significant hair regrowth using 2.5mg oral minoxidil and 0.5mg dutasteride every other day, with no side effects and increased libido. Revita shampoo and conditioner were also used but were less effective than the medications.
