      community DHT levels after 4 weeks of Fina and 8 weeks of Fina + 4 weeks of Duta

      in Update  38 upvotes 6 years ago
      The user reported early stage diffuse hair thinning and increased DHT levels after 4 weeks on Finasteride and 8 weeks on Finasteride plus 4 weeks on Dutasteride, despite the medications being authentic and stored properly. They are considering increasing their Dutasteride dosage due to the lack of side effects and are unsure if the treatment is helping their hair.

      in Update  23 upvotes 1 year ago
      A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.

      Creatine may increase DHT levels, potentially causing symptoms like acne, oily hair, and hair shedding. Users report mixed experiences, with some avoiding creatine due to hair loss concerns and others seeing no impact.

      community Does Creatine Cause Hair Loss? I Did the Science.

      Creatine at 2.5 g/day did not affect DHT levels in the user, suggesting it may not cause hair loss through DHT. The user used minoxidil during the experiment but did not use finasteride or other DHT-reducing medications.
