A female user in her mid-20s with androgenetic alopecia and suspected telogene effluvium who has been taking Dutasteride, Spironolactone, Minoxidil, Dermarolling, Ketoconazol shampoo, and Yaz contraception for her hair loss for the past 6 months. She had a small shed during this time that she believes to be stress related.
community People's personal thoughts on my treatment.
A 20-year-old with stage 3 hair loss saw good results using Topical Min 5%, Oral Fin 1mg, DHT Blocker Shampoo, and DHT blocking and Vitamin gummy. The doctor advised stopping Fin after six months due to hormone concerns, but the user is hesitant.
community HRT is literal black magic. Fin 1 mg/day @ 4 years, min 2x/day @ 3 years, Estradiol 4mg/day @ 3.5 months, and Spironolactone 100mg/day @ 3.5 months (estra & spiro are medicines you should likely not take if you are a cis man)
User shared progress on hair regrowth using Fin 1 mg/day for 4 years, Min 2x/day for 3 years, Estradiol 4mg/day, and Spironolactone 100mg/day for 3.5 months. They noted significant hairline recovery and advised against HRT for cis men due to feminizing effects.
