community Genetics are so weird and unpredictable

in Minoxidil 118 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced male pattern baldness starting at 18, tried finasteride with no success, and switched to dutasteride, which halted hair loss. Minoxidil had no effect for them, while their brother, who didn't use AR inhibitors, maintained a juvenile hairline and successfully grew a beard with minoxidil, highlighting the unpredictable nature of genetics in hair loss and treatment response.

Oil from the neem tree, used in traditional remedies

learn Nanoxidil

Can Nanoxidil help with both male and female pattern baldness? There is not enough evidence to say Nanoxidil helps men or women with pattern hair loss. The one published study was small, company-funded and uncontrolled, and Nanoxidil is not FDA-approved.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn GT20029

Is GT20029 safe and effective for both men and women with androgenic alopecia? Not known yet. GT20029 is an experimental drug tested only in men: in one 12-week trial two of four regimens beat placebo with similar side-effect rates, and long-term safety and effects in women or pregnancy are unstudied.
