Hair loss treatments discussed include progesterone and topical spironolactone. Topical spironolactone found more effective than finasteride.

The conversation lists hair loss treatments including finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, pyrilutamide, breezula, and fluridil, and suggests ketoconazole as another option. Some users warn against using certain treatments like cyproterone acetate, bicalutamide, and spironolactone due to their strong anti-androgen effects and potential impact on masculinity.
