5 / 296 resultscommunity A hill on which I will die: The DHT itch absolutely exists
The DHT itch is linked to hair loss and persists despite finasteride use; switching to dutasteride helped alleviate the itch and promoted regrowth. Some users suggest seborrheic dermatitis as a cause and recommend treatments like medicated shampoos, vitamin D, and minoxidil.
community RU-58841 Lung Disease Possibility | Chest pain, "heart issues", etc
Some users of RU-58841 report cardiovascular symptoms like heart palpitations and chest tightness, which may be linked to its metabolites causing lung disease. The safety of RU-58841 is uncertain due to lack of long-term data and concerns about product purity, especially from gray market sources.
community DHT Itch is real. The connection between Acne and Male Pattern Baldness shows this
The conversation discusses the link between seborrheic dermatitis, acne, and male pattern baldness, suggesting that DHT may cause both skin conditions and hair loss. Treatments mentioned include RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, Nizoral shampoo, and other topical anti-androgens.
community What Works to Restore Hairloss for Cis-Males? Not Much
Hair regrowth treatments for cis-males include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841. Estrogen and testosterone blockers can help restore hair loss but may not suit everyone.
community 5α-Reductase inhibitors do not impair cognition.
The conversation concludes that finasteride, a 5α-Reductase inhibitor used for hair loss, does not impair cognition either short-term or long-term. It suggests "brain fog" is not caused by the medication.
