People are discussing hairloss treatments, including minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, to turn vellus hairs into terminal hairs. Some users also mention using antibiotics, oral minoxidil, dutasteride, DHT blockers, biotin, and natural remedies like onion juice and seeds to improve hair growth.
The user is experiencing scalp itching despite using finasteride and Ketoconazole shampoo for hairloss and seborrheic dermatitis. They are unsure if the itch is due to their treatments, diet, or mental factors.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of hairloss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride. The conclusion is that dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels and may be more effective than finasteride for long-term hair retention, with some users reporting personal experiences and side effects.
The conversation discusses various theories of hairloss, including DHT sensitivity and genetic factors, with the user willing to use themselves for research due to having a hairloss gene but different hairloss patterns compared to their brothers. Specific treatments were not mentioned in the provided text.
Minoxidil alone may not stop hairloss. Finasteride is recommended for androgenic alopecia, as minoxidil doesn't prevent DHT from miniaturizing hair follicles.
Minoxidil increases hair count despite high prolactin being linked to hairloss. Blocking DHT is effective, but not always necessary; HMI-115 is a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
The effects of smoking cigarettes on DHT levels and its potential effect on hairloss, with some people sharing experiences in relation to their own hairloss. Various treatments for reducing or reversing hairloss were discussed, such as quitting smoking, minoxidil, finasteride and RU58841.
Caffeine intake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hairloss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hairloss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.
Loose-Message9596 has been experiencing hairloss for 3-4 years, initially due to low ferritin and vitamin D levels, and has tried treatments like vitamins, System 4, and PRP therapy. They are considering starting finasteride and minoxidil but are unsure due to their relatively low DHT level of 425.
The user has low testosterone and DHT levels and is considering taking finasteride for Norwood 2 hairloss with diffuse thinning. They are seeking advice on whether low DHT indicates high sensitivity to DHT in the scalp and opinions on their lab values.
Minoxidil can regrow hair but doesn't address the underlying issue of DHT, leading to continued hairloss. Users discuss their experiences with finasteride and dutasteride, mentioning side effects, personal outcomes, and alternatives like microdosing topical finasteride.
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hairloss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
Increased scalp itching during shedding phases while on finasteride treatment may coincide with hair regrowth and recovery. This suggests that itching might not always indicate continued hairloss and could encourage persistence with the treatment.
A 19-year-old male has seen no improvement in hairloss after 10 months on oral finasteride and 2 years on topical minoxidil, with hair thinning and a receding hairline continuing. One reply suggests getting tests to confirm if DHT is the cause of the hairloss.
A natural compound called C3A from Aronia Chokeberry can help prevent hairloss by counteracting the effects of DHT. The user has been taking 50 grams of dried organic Aronia Chokeberry daily for 30 days and will update with photos in 60 days.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of various doses of Dutasteride in reducing scalp DHT and its impact on hair count. Users shared personal experiences with hairloss treatments, including Dutasteride, Finasteride, and Minoxidil, with one reporting significant hairloss reduction using a combination of oral Dutasteride and topical Minoxidil and Finasteride.
JeremySoCa's DHT level was 29 ng/dl, considered low, and Estradiol was 26.1 pg/dl within the normal range. They are using topical finasteride for hairloss and had a thyroidectomy due to Graves' disease.
The conversation is about using natural DHT blockers like pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto extract for hairloss. The user has been using minoxidil, derma rolling, vitamin D, and biotin but is considering finasteride next.
The conversation is about someone planning to start finasteride or RU58841 for hairloss and wanting to know which hormones to test beforehand. They found a package for testing testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, and DHT, and are asking if these tests are enough.
The conversation is about whether testing for free DHT is necessary before starting Finasteride for hairloss, despite having other hormone tests available. One person suggests that genetic response to DHT is more important than DHT levels and advises starting Finasteride without the free DHT test.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of finasteride and microneedling for treating hairloss. The linked article is seen as an advertisement for these treatments.
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride can reduce scalp DHT levels more effectively. The discussion includes using minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hairloss treatment.
A user increased their dutasteride dosage from 0.5mg to 1mg daily, resulting in a rise in DHT levels from 148 pg/mL to 281 pg/mL, and is considering switching back to finasteride due to continued hairloss. Replies suggest retesting and emphasize the importance of bloodwork before starting treatments.
The conversation discusses the conflicting information about Zinc's effect on DHT and its role in hairloss. It mentions that Zinc can act as a 5AR inhibitor at high doses but may increase DHT if taken to correct a deficiency, and highlights the importance of nutritional balance for hair health.
