Finasteride and Dutasteride help reduce itchy scalp and dandruff caused by DHT. Users also report less acne and reduced hair loss.

Supplements like saw palmetto or pumpkin seed oil may target the remaining 10% of DHT not affected by Dutasteride. Users discuss whether these supplements are beneficial when already using Dutasteride.

The conversation discusses whether creatine causes hair loss for those using finasteride or dutasteride, with some suggesting creatine might increase DHT or upregulate androgen receptors, potentially leading to hair loss. Others argue the evidence is not conclusive, citing limited studies and personal anecdotes, with some avoiding creatine as a precaution.

Hair regrowth in transfems is more effective due to hormonal changes, specifically estrogen, which keeps hair in growth phase longer. Treatments mentioned include anti-androgens, sex hormones, and DHT blockers like finasteride.

The conversation discusses using finasteride or dutasteride to reduce DHT, CosmeRNA to target androgen receptors, and Minoxidil as a vasodilator for hair growth. The regimen aims to maintain hair by addressing DHT-AR ratio and continuous Minoxidil use.

Researching the cause of hair loss and treating it by preventing DHT in the scalp with medication such as finasteride or dutasteride, estrogen, minoxidil, dermarolling, and possible topical antiandrogens.

Experimenting with the effects of creatine and finasteride on DHT levels, as well as a discussion regarding the potential link between creatine supplementation and hair loss.

Natural vitamins like pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, and ecklonia cava are discussed for their potential to lower DHT levels. They may work similarly to finasteride but are significantly weaker.

Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.

The user discusses the potential impact of external DHT in sebum on hair loss and plans to wash their hair daily with salicylic acid exfoliation. They believe this might help reduce hair loss despite internal factors.

The conversation discusses using Biotin 10000mcg with Keratin and DHT blockers for hair growth. The user seeks advice on other community-recommended options.

Dutasteride mesotherapy showed increased hair density and diameter without reducing serum DHT levels in a small study. However, the sample size was too small to make definitive claims about its efficacy.

Breezula protects hair follicles from both testosterone and DHT, unlike finasteride, which only protects against DHT. This could potentially lead to significant hair regrowth, similar to results seen in transgender individuals using hormone blockers.

Pyrilutamide and RU58841 are androgen receptor antagonists that block receptors without significantly reducing testosterone or DHT levels. Any indirect effect on androgen levels is likely negligible.

Dutasteride at 2.5mg is considered a potential hair loss cure due to its DHT-blocking ability, but there are concerns about side effects and individual responses. Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are also discussed, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness and safety.

Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.

Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

A user in England seeks advice on where to get a custom blood test for DHT, PRL, estradiol, SHBG, testosterone, and free testosterone before starting dutasteride. They want a baseline measurement before beginning treatment.

The conversation discusses using very low dose topical finasteride to achieve specific serum DHT reduction percentages. It concludes that finasteride dosage increases linearly between 5-30% DHT reduction but requires exponential increases for reductions up to 70%.

A user is considering combining oral and topical dutasteride to lower scalp DHT more effectively and is seeking advice on this approach. They are thinking about doing a patch test on their mid scalp.

FOL-005 claims to be more effective than Minoxidil and Finasteride but lacks anti-DHT properties, leading to potential reduced efficacy over time. Concerns are raised about misleading marketing and the safety of alternative treatments like Pyrilutamide and Clascoterone.

The conversation is about the effectiveness and safety of using 2.5mg of Dutasteride for hair loss. Users discuss the high scalp DHT suppression rates but caution against high doses due to potential side effects and recommend consulting a doctor.

A 16-year-old is asking if their hair situation has improved after using rosemary oil, rosemary water, derma rolling, and ketoconazole, and is considering starting Minoxidil. Replies comment on the user's hairiness and high DHT levels.

High cholesterol may accelerate hair loss by reducing blood flow and increasing DHT levels. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

The user has been on finasteride for 4.5 years and minoxidil for 10 years, maintaining hair but not regrowing much on the crown and temples. They are considering using a dermastamp more frequently and possibly trying RU58841, but are hesitant about dutasteride due to concerns about side effects and DHT suppression.

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.

A user on finasteride for hair loss is considering topical dutasteride to further reduce scalp DHT and is using various other topicals as substitutes for minoxidil due to concerns about the safety of their cats and potential heart side effects from oral minoxidil. They are exploring whether a once-weekly application of topical dutasteride would be effective.

The conversation discusses whether to try dutasteride for hair loss if finasteride had no effect. Users suggest dutasteride might be more effective as it is stronger and blocks more types of DHT.

A Spanish dermatologist suggests sulforaphane for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to its potential to remove DHT metabolites, though high dosages are needed. A topical formulation might be possible.

The conversation discusses the use of 12.5mg cyproterone every other day for hair loss. There's a concern about reducing testosterone potentially increasing DHT and negatively affecting hair.
