The conversation discusses managing hair loss and scalp issues, with users sharing experiences using treatments like dutasteride, finasteride, ketoconazole, sulfur soap, and topical anti-androgens. Suggestions include trying sulfur soap, scalp massages, spironolactone, and dietary changes to reduce sebum production and dandruff.
community Does Pyrilutamide lowers sebum production?
Pyrilutamide's effect on sebum production and scalp inflammation is unclear, with users noting no significant changes. Isotretinoin is mentioned as effective for reducing sebum, while Dutasteride and various shampoos have limited impact on oiliness and seborrheic dermatitis.
community Sebum on scalp has reduced, what gives ?
The reduction in scalp oiliness is likely due to finasteride reducing DHT levels and the use of ketoconazole shampoo. The combination of these treatments may have decreased sebum production.
community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
