      community Any growth (been taking iron supplements)

      in Is this regrowth? 6 months ago
      The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on iron supplements for low ferritin levels and considering finasteride and minoxidil if thinning persists. There is debate over starting with finasteride versus dutasteride, with some users advocating for dutasteride due to its potency, while others caution about potential side effects.

      community Why is scalp DHT suppression lower than systemic?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  11 upvotes 6 months ago
      Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively in hair follicles than finasteride, but some individuals still experience hair loss despite treatment. Combining oral and topical finasteride may improve results, and some users experiment with topical dutasteride despite uncertainties about its absorption.
