community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community Is it possible to get an HT without scarring? (when you’re fully shaved)
User is 25, using oral finasteride for 4 years, topical minoxidil for 3 years, and microneedling. They ask if hair transplant can be done without scarring when shaving head completely bald later.
community Dutasteride 1.5 years and Oral Minoxidil 1 year progress!
A user switched from finasteride to dutasteride and added oral minoxidil for hair loss but saw limited improvement. They are considering increasing doses, trying RU58841, and possibly a hair transplant, while others suggest checking for vitamin deficiencies.
community The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men
Excessive sugar consumption may contribute to male pattern hair loss by increasing androgen sensitivity and insulin resistance, but genetics play a significant role. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are suggested for managing hair loss, while reducing sugar intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate its progression.
