5 / 426 resultscommunity Does ketoconazole reduce systemic DHT by much?
Ketoconazole shampoo does not significantly reduce systemic or scalp DHT levels and is mainly used for its anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory effects. It is not a replacement for finasteride, which is recommended by some users despite concerns about side effects.
community Topical dutasteride significantly outperforms oral finasteride
Topical dutasteride 0.05% is reported to outperform oral finasteride with minimal side effects, but concerns about study bias exist due to company funding. Some users report mixed results with topical dutasteride, noting issues with skin penetration and systemic absorption.
community Would taking Ketoconazole 2% shampoo before signs of male pattern baldness help delay hair loss?
The conversation is about a user considering the use of Ketoconazole 2% shampoo before showing signs of male pattern baldness (MPB) to potentially delay its onset, inspired by a YouTuber who uses the shampoo to reduce scalp DHT levels. The user's interest in this preventative measure stems from a family history of MPB.
community Interesting new publication suggesting that MPB should be assessed as a early warning sign for type-2 diabetes.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be an early warning sign for type 2 diabetes due to its association with insulin resistance. Treatments discussed include testosterone therapy and finasteride, which affects hormone levels related to hair loss and insulin sensitivity.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
