community Sebaceous filaments / blackheads on scalp - are they a cause of MPB or a symptom?
Sebaceous filaments or blackheads on the scalp are not a cause of hair loss; it's more likely due to hormonal factors, particularly in androgen-sensitive areas like the temples and crown. The user is using topical finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin for treatment.
community 3 months on topical min + fin + Redensyl and hair is worse. Nonstop shedding & dry flaky scalp
A 25-year-old male is experiencing worsening hair loss after 3 months of using topical minoxidil, finasteride, and Redensyl, with users suggesting patience, potential hormonal factors, and considering alternative treatments like dutasteride and oral minoxidil. Shedding is noted as a common phase, indicating potential future hair regrowth.
community Should i seek further blood tests given my levels?
The user is experiencing low libido and mood swings after starting a low dose of topical finasteride. They are considering further blood tests to investigate low testosterone levels and other hormonal factors.
community If DHT is the cause of hair loss why do so many still lose hair on dutasteride?
Hair loss can persist despite using treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil due to factors like genetic sensitivity, incomplete DHT blockage, and other hormonal influences. Individual responses vary, and some may require a combination of treatments to stabilize hair loss.

- Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.
- Why do some women use bicalutamide for hormonal hair loss? Some dermatologists prescribe bicalutamide off-label for female pattern hair loss, although its US label says it should not be used in women; the one randomised trial found no added benefit over oral minoxidil. The label warns of severe and fatal liver injury, requiring liver blood tests, and the drug must not be used in pregnancy.
