A woman with acromegaloidism and normal growth hormone levels had a rare X-Tetrasomy, suggesting a need to study X-chromosome genes for their role in growth and facial development.
The document concludes that antiandrogenic drugs like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone are effective but not permanent treatments for skin-related androgenization in women.
A 35-year-old transitioning female (MtF) shared her hair regrowth journey using Minoxidil, Dutasteride, Microneedling, and Exosomes, starting from a bald state. Commenters discussed the impressive results, skin care routine, and the effects of estrogen on hair and skin.
High DHEA levels may contribute to hair loss by increasing DHT in hair follicles, potentially explaining why finasteride is ineffective for some. Treatments like high-dose dutasteride and RU58841 are suggested, but the underlying cause, such as adrenal issues, should be investigated.
Long aerobic exercise (over 60 minutes) can reduce DHT levels and improve hair health. Some users discuss using Tadalafil (Cialis) to further reduce DHT after exercise, while others mention using treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 for hair growth.
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
Progesterone cream might help with hair loss by inhibiting DHT production and suppressing prolactin, which can increase DHT. Some dermatologists have used progesterone for hair loss treatment, and it has been effective, sometimes combined with minoxidil, finasteride, and hydrocortisone.
