5 / 134 resultscommunity 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 Female, 30, PCOS diagnosis, MPB Norwood 2. Endo refuses to give anything other than Spironolactone. Feel like I’m at my wit’s end here.
A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.
community An argument for why we should take topical Dutasteride seriously
Topical Dutasteride may halt hair loss and effectively treat androgenic alopecia. Combining low-dose oral Dutasteride with topical application could maximize regrowth and minimize side effects.
community Met a doctor at the zoo who told me the TRUTH about Fin
A satirical post jokes about a user meeting a doctor at the zoo who praises finasteride (Fin) for hair loss treatment, claiming it has a low side-effect profile and is effective. Replies include humorous disbelief, comparisons to other risks, and some personal accounts of side effects from Fin.
community 2 months on minoxidil 5% GOOD RESULTS?
Asteride into your routine
In this conversation, the user Icy-Indication267 was asking when they should start finasteride to treat their hair loss, which had responded well to minoxidil after two months. Other users shared advice on incorporating micro-needling and topical finasteride into their routine for optimal results.
