      community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?

      in Research/Science 1 week ago
      Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.

      community Losing Hair on Dutasteride? You might have LPP

      in Research/Science  97 upvotes 3 months ago
      Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.

      community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
