Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceousglands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
A user shared their initial experiences with The Ordinary hair density serum, which contains Redensyl (taxifolin). They observed increased hair volume but also developed pimples, likely due to the serum stimulating sebaceousglands.
Finasteride, a hair loss treatment, was observed to reduce scalp oiliness in users. Anti-androgens like Finasteride are known to decrease the activity of oil-producing glands.
The user recommends washing hair twice daily with glycerin soap, using finasteride and minoxidil, avoiding cigarettes and alcohol, and maintaining a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. They claim these methods have significantly improved their hair health over 25 years.
