Treating the itch associated with male pattern baldness, which is believed to be caused by DHT. Potential treatments discussed include salt water, finasteride, ketoconazole, and RU58841.
User spent 23 years on Finasteride with side effects like weight gain and reduced libido. Switched to topical Finasteride, side effects reduced and waiting for results.
The conversation is about gathering serum DHT data from individuals taking dutasteride to investigate its efficacy, especially in cases with unexpectedly low DHT reduction. The aim is to explore potential genetic factors affecting drug metabolism.
A user discusses using a hair thickening spray similar to L'Oreal Root Touch Up, noting it provides volume and covers thinning temples but may cause hair to fall out when washed. They speculate the fallen hairs might have been loose already.
RU58841 remains active for several hours after application, and it's suggested to wait a few hours before washing it off to maintain its effectiveness. There is a concern about potential transfer to others if they touch the hair shortly after application.
