5 / 207 resultscommunity Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
community Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
community My doctor prescribed me Finasteride 5mg Daily. Is the dosage too high?
A user was prescribed 5mg of Finasteride daily for hair loss, which is a higher dose typically used for prostate issues. Many suggest using a pill cutter to reduce the dose to 1mg or less per day, as it is more cost-effective and equally effective for hair loss.
community It's so over. Im beyond cooked
The user is experiencing hair loss despite using Dutasteride and plans to try RU58841, considering adding Oral Minoxidil. They express frustration with diffuse thinning and seek advice on managing hair loss.
community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
