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 A battle won?
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 Another clueless guy fearmongering and spreading misinformation
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, with some users advocating for finasteride and minoxidil, while others express concerns about potential side effects of finasteride. A social media influencer is criticized for promoting scalp massages and minoxidil over finasteride, which some believe is misinformation.
community COMPLETE OVERVIEW of the Treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men
Male androgenetic alopecia is commonly treated with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, both requiring continuous use. Other options include hair restoration surgery, dutasteride, light therapy, and camouflaging agents.
