Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community Lilly to seek first approval of an autoimmune drug for hair loss
Eli Lilly's drug baricitinib showed effectiveness in treating alopecia areata, with higher doses resulting in significant hair regrowth compared to placebo. The treatment is not for male pattern baldness.
community Fin/dut increase in estrogen and autoimmune diseases
The conversation discusses the link between increased estrogen and autoimmune diseases, with a focus on avoiding soy and milk. It also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss.
community Not everyone should immediately go on Fin if they are starting to bald
The conversation suggests that people should consult a dermatologist to understand their type of hair loss before starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride, especially if they have autoimmune issues or low DHT. Some participants believe in starting treatment like finasteride immediately if hair loss is due to DHT, while others recommend ruling out other causes and considering minoxidil first, especially for younger individuals.
