The user tried various treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, vitamins, Saw Palmetto, beta sitosterol, pumpkin oil, borage oil, stinging nettle, and emu oil. They recently noticed tiny black hairs, suggesting some improvement.
community Scientific Review: Saw Palmetto is not effective for treating hair loss and does not inhibit DHT to the extend that most people think. Anti-Hair loss claims are invalid.
Saw Palmetto is not effective for hair loss treatment and is not a recommended alternative to finasteride due to its inability to significantly inhibit DHT.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Steroid injections helped my hair loss but I have AGA?
A woman with AGA and CTE has been taking multiple hair loss treatments including spironolactone, dutasteride, finasteride, bicalutamide, birth control, and minoxidil without success. Steroid injections, however, dramatically and immediately stopped her hair loss, though the effect lasts less than a month.
community Ru-58841 vs KX-826/pyrilutamide while on steroids
The user increased their steroid dosage and noticed hair shedding, so they adjusted their regimen by reducing steroid doses and adding oral dutasteride. They are also experimenting with combining RU-58841 and KX-826/pyrilutamide in minoxidil to address hair loss.
