1 year ago Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Attention Finasteride / Dutasteride and Your liver
Finasteride may cause elevated liver enzymes, potentially leading to liver issues, though this is rare. Users should monitor liver function and consider topical alternatives if liver sensitivity occurs.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

After stopping finasteride, the user retained hair without noticeable balding, suggesting an unusual reaction to the medication. The user initially experienced rapid hair loss and itchiness, possibly due to male pattern baldness, but maintained hair stability after tapering off finasteride.
