community Scalp testosterone does NOT cause hair loss, what is this baseless claim ?

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 5 months ago

DHT, not testosterone, causes hair loss. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 target DHT to manage hair loss.

community Scalp tension/pain = Hair loss?

in Chat 1 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair loss was triggered by a testosterone and Masteron cycle, causing scalp tension and shedding. Topical finasteride, RU58841, and oral minoxidil were used to stop shedding and improve scalp condition.

community 14 months on Fin, Total T 899, serum DHT 276 — high total T may still drive scalp DHT even when blood levels look controlled

3 upvotes 4 months ago

A 23-year-old male has been using finasteride and topical minoxidil for 14 months with slight improvement, but recent shedding led him to switch to a new minoxidil formulation without success. He is considering using topical RU58841 or dutasteride to better address scalp DHT, as his bloodwork shows high total testosterone and mid-range DHT levels.

community Stumbled on some research

8 upvotes 5 years ago

Elevated PGD2 levels in bald scalp tissue may contribute to hair loss, and treatments like castor oil, finasteride, and minoxidil are discussed as potential solutions. Some users explore alternatives like oral castor oil and cetirizine for those who cannot use finasteride.

community Is this broscience? From More Plates, More Dates

in Research/Science 21 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
