Reducing sebum can indirectly lower DHT levels, with treatments like accutane, tretinoin, and green tea extract acting as DHT blockers. Accutane can lower DHT levels by reducing 5α-reductase activity, but its impact on hair varies.

Accutane may accelerate hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals by affecting enzymes related to DHT metabolism. Some users report hair loss after taking Accutane, while others use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil to manage hair loss.
