5 / 1000+ resultscommunity My skin is always dry and flakes like chalk (25)
The user underwent a biopsy two years ago and was diagnosed with keratosis pilaris, leading to hair issues. They tried treatments including Minoxidil, betamethasone, lymecycline, topical Accutane, and dutasteride, as well as diet changes, without improvement in hair thickness or skin dryness.
community Is Finasteride helping with my skin tags or is it something else?
The user noticed improvement in skin tags after using oral and topical finasteride and minoxidil, along with other supplements like thiamine, P5P, serrapeptase, nattokinase, and retinol. They are unsure which treatment caused the improvement and are seeking input on whether finasteride's DHT reduction could be responsible.
community What are these spots on my scalp
A user noticed non-itchy, non-bleeding spots on their scalp while experiencing hair loss. Replies suggest the spots are likely sunspots or liver spots and recommend seeing a dermatologist; hair loss is attributed to male pattern baldness.
community My Experience and a Discourse on "DUPA"
The user discusses their hair loss experience, exploring various hypotheses including thyroid levels, vitamin D, DHEA, nutritional deficiency, diabetes, seborrheic dermatitis, lack of nutrition to hair follicles, chronic inflammation, female pattern hair loss causes, cortisol, and prolactin levels. They are currently using finasteride, beta-sitosterol, and have tried topical dutasteride and microneedling therapy.
community here is why isotretinoin might cause hair loss and maybe why dupa happens.
Isotretinoin may cause hair loss by increasing DHT through a precursor androgen, DHEAS. Treatments like topical antiandrogens (RU58841, pyrilutamide) and drugs increasing PPAR-y expression (pioglitazone) might prevent this hair loss.
