The user has experienced significant hair thinning despite using 2.5 mg minoxidil for 2 years. Other users suggest adding finasteride or dutasteride and consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.
community Finasteride does deplete important nuero-active steroids
Finasteride can reduce neuroactive steroids, causing side effects like depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Some users experience persistent symptoms after stopping finasteride, while others use alternative treatments like topical solutions.
community Acute shedding episodes. Had telogen effluvium last year. Remission for a few months(thought I was over the shedding stuff 🥲). Now if I have any major stress days, THAT day I get a major shed and a few days after.
The user experiences immediate hair shedding linked to stress, unlike typical telogen effluvium, and is seeking answers. A suggestion was made to use spironolactone and topical minoxidil to address potential DHT-related shedding.
community Hair loss after COVID or vaccination isn’t “made up” but it’s also not what TikTok makes it sound like
COVID and COVID vaccination can trigger hair loss, primarily telogen effluvium, due to stress and immune system activation. Proper diagnosis and addressing factors like nutrition and stress are crucial for recovery.
community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
