    GlossaryImmunosuppressed Patients

    individuals with weakened immune systems, often due to medical treatments

    Immunosuppressed patients, also known as immunocompromised patients, are individuals whose immune systems are weakened or not functioning properly. This can be due to various factors such as medical treatments like chemotherapy, organ transplants requiring immunosuppressive drugs, or underlying conditions like HIV/AIDS. As a result, these patients are more susceptible to infections and may have a harder time fighting off diseases.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  21 upvotes 10 months ago
      The conversation suggests that people should consult a dermatologist to understand their type of hair loss before starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride, especially if they have autoimmune issues or low DHT. Some participants believe in starting treatment like finasteride immediately if hair loss is due to DHT, while others recommend ruling out other causes and considering minoxidil first, especially for younger individuals.
