Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community This is what some balding dudes are like
Some people avoid finasteride due to side effects but engage in unhealthy habits. Minoxidil and finasteride are common hair loss treatments, with varied side effect experiences.
community Long-term risks of finasteride are overplayed, here's why (a comprehensive review on the available research)
Finasteride's long-term risks are often exaggerated; studies showing negative effects typically involve high doses or animal subjects. For those taking 1mg daily for hair loss, there is no significant evidence of severe side effects.
