community is 1% finasteride and 0.1% tretinoin typically prescribed?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 4 upvotes 1 year ago

1% finasteride is considered too high, with most people using 0.1% or 0.3% topically. Combining it with 0.1% tretinoin is aggressive and may cause skin irritation.

community Betamethasone dipropionate 0.05 (sernivo spray)

in General 76 upvotes 1 year ago

A user was prescribed betamethasone dipropionate spray for a receding hairline, which caused skin peeling and depigmentation. They stopped using it and are considering alternatives like BPC-157/TB-500 for healing.

community Got prescribed clobetasol propionate 0.05%

5 upvotes 1 week ago

The user is experiencing diffuse thinning and receded hairline, using dutasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole without regrowth, and was prescribed clobetasol propionate 0.05% with salicylic acid for possible inflammation. Other users caution against using the strong steroid without a serious condition, sharing experiences of adverse effects and alternative treatments for scalp issues.

community With studies showing that 0.2mg Finasteride is almost as effective as 5mg at reducing DHT, why is every doctor prescribing 1mg?

252 upvotes 10 months ago

Finasteride is prescribed at 1mg because it is FDA-approved and proven effective, despite evidence that 0.2mg may similarly reduce DHT. The 1mg dose is more effective for hair growth, and lower doses are less available.

13 upvotes 1 week ago

learn Fluocinolone

Is Fluocinolone a treatment for hair loss itself or just for calming scalp irritation? Fluocinolone acetonide is a prescription corticosteroid approved for inflammatory skin conditions, not for hair loss; no published human trial has measured hair regrowth with it, so at most it may help indirectly by calming an inflamed scalp.

learn Microneedling

technique to create small wounds in skin to activate collagen production and hair growth

learn Finasteride

Do you want finasteride to penetrate better? The ideal solvent to maximize its effect. Formulation sources describe propylene glycol and microemulsion vehicles as increasing how much topical finasteride crosses the skin, but better penetration has not been shown to mean better hair results, and it also raises systemic exposure. The vehicle and strength are decisions for a prescriber or compounding pharmacist.

learn Hydrocortisone

Can hydrocortisone be used together with other treatments like minoxidil or steroid injections? Clinicians do use a mild steroid cream to settle the scalp irritation minoxidil can cause, but no verified trial tests hydrocortisone added to minoxidil or to corticosteroid injections, and prolonged scalp use risks skin thinning — combining it is a decision to take with a prescriber.
Is hydrocortisone effective for stopping inflammation that blocks hair growth? Sources describe hydrocortisone as a short-course treatment for scalp inflammation such as seborrhoeic dermatitis or eczema, and no verified trial tests it as a hair-regrowth treatment; the corticosteroids used for alopecia areata are the potent prescription ones, and prolonged use of any topical steroid on the scalp risks skin thinning.
