5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Creating a solution with dutasteride capsules and tretinoin cream into minoxidil?
Mixing dutasteride capsules and tretinoin cream into liquid minoxidil is questioned for effectiveness. A user responds negatively.
community Has anyone powered through the creatine shedding (via increased androgen receptor sensitivity) and stabilized?
Creatine may cause increased hair shedding due to androgen receptor sensitivity, despite limited evidence. The user is using dutasteride and minoxidil and seeks advice on whether shedding will stabilize, with suggestions including GHK-Cu and RU58841.
community Can I take finasteride and creatine both daily?
Creatine may accelerate genetic hair loss, but stopping it can reverse the effects. Finasteride helps block DHT, and some users report no issues taking both daily.
community Is there hope for creating new hair follicles?
Creating new hair follicles is unlikely in the next 10-20 years, with current treatments focusing on stimulating existing follicles. Experimental treatments like ky19382 are being tested, but reliable solutions are not yet available.
community Creatine and hair loss: What is the your personal experience?
Creatine may increase hair shedding for some, especially those sensitive to DHT, but experiences vary. Many users on finasteride and minoxidil report no additional hair loss from creatine.

- Sudden round bald patches: can centella cream help? There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
- How do you safely apply hydrocortisone cream or lotion to the scalp without overusing it? US over-the-counter hydrocortisone labels say to apply it no more than three or four times a day and to stop and ask a doctor if symptoms last more than seven days; labels in other countries differ. The scalp absorbs corticosteroids more than most skin, so prolonged use raises the risk of thinning skin.
- Are there any visible side effects when using rapamycin cream or serum on the scalp? No study has tested rapamycin on the scalp; in facial trials skin reactions were common (64% vs 29% placebo; Aitken et al. 2023, PMID 37463422).
