5 / 201 resultscommunity If Minoxidil Beards are permanent, why should Finasteride be unable to keep Minoxidil Gains on the scalp?
Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
community My experience and a discourse on “DUPA”
How diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) is not an invitation to self-diagnose oneself with aggressive AGA and that seeking a specialized dermatologist may help people experiencing hair loss. Treatment options discussed include topical clobetasol propionate, oral minoxidil, and discontinuing finasteride.
community Proof that finasteride messes with neurosteroids
Finasteride can impact neurosteroids, potentially causing depression and other side effects in some users. Despite these concerns, many continue using it for hair loss, with some switching to topical applications to mitigate side effects.
community How to tell if it’s miniaturizing vs regrowth?
The conversation discusses hair regrowth and miniaturization, with the user transitioning to oral dutasteride and oral minoxidil, and occasionally using topical minoxidil. The user observes baby hairs near the hairline but less on the scalp, indicating possible regrowth and shedding.
community Losing hairs is not the same as balding
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can cause initial shedding as they restart the hair growth cycle, but this is not an indicator of treatment failure. The effectiveness of these treatments should be judged by cosmetic changes over time, not by daily hair loss counts.
