      community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

      A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

      community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

       63 upvotes 2 years ago
      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

      community Why not just take the drugs before hair loss?

      in Chat  123 upvotes 6 months ago
      Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed as preventative treatments for hair loss, with some advocating for early use and others concerned about side effects, especially before full maturity. Many regret not starting these treatments earlier due to their effectiveness in preventing or slowing hair loss.

      Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.
