community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Efficacy of different dutasteride doses vs finasteride
Dutasteride doses matter for hair loss treatment and are more effective than finasteride. RU58841 is suggested for better gains, but side effect profiles should be considered.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
community Interesting article links major MPB theories to western diet (and life-style)
Poor diet and lifestyle contribute to male pattern baldness. Treatments like Minoxidil, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments may help slow hair loss.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
