5 / 1000+ resultscommunity For people with overly oily hair, does topical finasteride/dutasteride/antiandrogens (like RU or Pyrilutamide) reduce sebum overproduction?
The conversation discusses whether topical finasteride, dutasteride, or antiandrogens like RU58841 can reduce sebum overproduction as an early indicator of their effectiveness in treating hair loss. It suggests that while hair growth may take months to observe, a decrease in oiliness could be a quicker sign of a product's action.

A 39-year-old woman noticed hair thinning and found she has an iron deficiency, which may be linked to hair loss. Suggestions included seeing a dermatologist, using spironolactone, and minoxidil.
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 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.
community Is there a known amount of fin that can reduce serum DHT by only around 25% over the longer term?
The conversation discusses finding a finasteride dosage that reduces DHT by about 25% to minimize side effects, with considerations for topical versus oral formulations. Alternatives like dutasteride mesotherapy and topical treatments are explored, with concerns about systemic absorption and potential impacts on athletic performance and hormone levels.

- Can a lash-growth serum like bimatoprost actually work for your scalp? Bimatoprost (Latisse) is approved for eyelashes, not the scalp; two Allergan phase 2 trials in men with androgenetic alopecia posted results to ClinicalTrials.gov but were never published in a peer-reviewed journal, so scalp use remains off-label and experimental.
- What’s the difference between using hyaluronic acid as a serum on the scalp versus taking it as a supplement? Hyaluronic acid serum hydrates the scalp surface, while supplements may support overall hair health.
- Are exosomes applied as a serum, an injection, or combined with other hair treatments? Exosomes are typically injected directly or combined with other hair treatments.
