5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Hair loss causes are still a myth.
The conversation discusses the complexity of hair loss causes, suggesting that DHT sensitivity alone doesn't fully explain it. Treatments mentioned include finasteride and dutasteride.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community 29f Female on Dutasteride Progress.
A 29-year-old woman with genetic hair loss started using 0.5 dutasteride a week ago and has noticed increased shedding, no sexual side effects, and less oily skin. She plans to provide updates and is not concerned about potential birth defects as she doesn't plan to have more children.

community Does finasteride works forever as long as you take it?
Finasteride can maintain hair for many years, but its effectiveness may decrease over time. Some switch to dutasteride or add minoxidil for better results, with side effects like libido changes and ED discussed.
