Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
The conversation humorously discusses diverting DHT from head to body hair and explores the idea of transplanting body hair to the scalp. It also mentions the potential for treatments to prevent DHT from affecting hair follicles.
OP is considering mixing finasteride pills with a 60ml bottle of Redensyl to create a topical treatment. The discussion focuses on the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach for hair loss.
Microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride greatly improves hair regrowth. Using 0.5mm depth every other day boosts minoxidil absorption without side effects.
The user is struggling with hair loss despite using topical minoxidil, finasteride, and oral dutasteride, and is seeking affordable alternatives to 2.5mg dutasteride. Suggestions include checking for scalp inflammation, considering oral minoxidil, using rosemary oil, and possibly trying saw palmetto, though results may vary.
The user reduced their finasteride dosage and added vitamin D due to deficiency, questioning if this change could cause hair shedding. Another user suggests shedding is unlikely with this dosage change, but more likely with a stronger drug like dutasteride.
