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 25M | 10 years of gradual hair loss | Minoxidil user | Looking for input on treatment optimization before HT
A 25-year-old male with 10 years of hair loss is using minoxidil and considering adding finasteride or dutasteride, possibly with microneedling, to improve hair regrowth before a hair transplant. Community members suggest starting a DHT blocker immediately, considering oral minoxidil, and addressing low vitamin D and HDL levels.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community Protac degradation of the androgen receptor in mice shows good efficacy and no systemic drug could be found
