COCs can improve acne but may cause skin issues like cholasma; high estrogen is advised for hair loss concerns.
research Testosterone concentrations and oligomenorrhea in women with acne
Women with acne and irregular periods had higher active testosterone levels, which could suggest the usefulness of antiandrogen treatment.
research The effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on scalp skin testosterone and dihydrotestosterone concentrations in patients with male pattern baldness.
Finasteride reduces scalp DHT levels, potentially treating male pattern baldness.
research Cognitive effects of testosterone and finasteride administration in older hypogonadal men.
Testosterone improves mood and thinking skills; finasteride has no effect.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How concerned should I be about the Testosterone (and thus resultant DHT) spike from Ashwagandha, as a Dutasteride user?
Ashwagandha may increase testosterone, which can convert to DHT and potentially affect hair loss, but using dutasteride should mitigate this concern. Users suggest that occasional Ashwagandha use is unlikely to impact hair loss significantly when on dutasteride.
community Testosterone is 1600, would taking low dose anti-androgens be a viable treatment option for people who’s T spikes on DHT-blockers?
The post and conversation are about the user's high testosterone levels and their worsening hair loss despite trying various treatments. They are considering using low doses of anti-androgens to lower their testosterone levels as a potential solution.
community Topical Finasteride Gel 1% after 4 months — problems
The user experienced hair thinning due to a testosterone spike and used a minoxidil solution and topical finasteride gel. After four months, the gel caused side effects without improving hair thinning, leading to questions about continuing or adjusting the treatment.
community Can testosterone alone cause hair loss even after nuking DHT?
Testosterone can still cause hair loss even when DHT is blocked by dutasteride, especially if hair follicles are sensitive. Topical treatments like RU58841 or pyrilutamide may help, but their long-term effectiveness is uncertain compared to dutasteride.
community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance
The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.
