      community Is it dumb to use both oral and topical minoxidil

      in Minoxidil  6 upvotes 1 year ago
      Using both oral and topical minoxidil is not considered dumb, and some users report better results with both, though it may cause shedding and scalp irritation. Combining minoxidil with finasteride is recommended for better effectiveness.

      community Topical Dutasteride Seems to Work

      in Research/Science  22 upvotes 4 months ago
      Topical dutasteride, particularly at 0.05%, shows greater hair density improvement than oral finasteride over 24 weeks, though hair thickness gains are similar. Some users report side effects with topical treatments, but others find them effective for maintaining hair without significant systemic absorption.

      community Topical dutasteride is superior to oral finasteride

      in Research/Science  96 upvotes 5 months ago
      Topical dutasteride is more effective than oral finasteride for male pattern hair loss, with fewer side effects. Some prefer oral treatments for convenience, while others use topical solutions like minoxidil and dutasteride, sometimes with microneedling, for better results.
