A user noticed worsening hair loss and is considering treatments. They plan to use finasteride, Rogaine, and a ketoconazole shampoo, and seek advice on their effectiveness and usage.
A 21-year-old male with a thyroid condition noticed his hair thinning uniformly without a receding hairline. He is considering using a 5ARI to prevent further baldness if he starts TRT.
Male androgenetic alopecia is commonly treated with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, both requiring continuous use. Other options include hair restoration surgery, dutasteride, light therapy, and camouflaging agents.
The conclusion of the conversation is that the user experienced significant hair regrowth after taking finasteride for a year. They did not use any other treatments and did not experience any noticeable side effects.
The user showed a one-year hair regrowth progress using finasteride only, after stopping minoxidil due to its toxicity to cats. They noticed hair growth around six or seven months into treatment.
An 18-year-old male used anti-androgens and oral Minoxidil for 10 months to treat hair loss. He initially used 1mg Finasteride and 5% topical Minoxidil for 5 months, then switched to Dutasteride for 4.5 months and inconsistently used 5mg oral Minoxidil for 2 months due to availability issues.
