    recurrent skin reaction at the same site from specific drugs

    A Fixed Drug Eruption (FDE) is a type of allergic reaction to a medication that recurs in the same location on the skin each time the drug is taken. It typically presents as a well-defined, round or oval, red or purple patch that may blister and leave a dark mark after healing. Common culprits include antibiotics, pain relievers, and other medications.

      community Pyrilutamide ,the molecule’s true nature

      in Research  302 upvotes 3 months ago
      Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.
