Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
The post and conversation are about the use of oral Minoxidil (Min), Finasteride (Fin), and RU58841 for hair loss treatment, with mixed opinions on their safety and effectiveness.
User experienced 100% testosterone increase after using Finasteride and Dutasteride for hair loss. Some users discuss potential side effects and reasons for the increase.
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
The user has been taking finasteride for 1.5 years without seeing improvement in hair regrowth. Suggestions include adding minoxidil or switching to dutasteride, with concerns about side effects.
