5 / 543 resultscommunity Why does the same hormone grow your beard and destroy your hairline?
DHT promotes beard growth but causes scalp hair loss due to inflammation and fibrosis. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil help with hormonal signals and blood flow but don't address underlying inflammation.
community Read before embarking on your hair recovery journey
Consult a doctor before starting treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, as underlying issues like vitamin D deficiency can affect hair loss. While some believe androgenic alopecia is the most common cause, addressing all potential causes can lead to better results.
community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community Oral minoxidil not doing anything
The user has been using finasteride for two years and added oral minoxidil a year ago but hasn't seen additional results. They are considering trying minoxidil foam, while others suggest adjusting the minoxidil dosage or exploring other underlying causes of hair loss.
community Are shampoos like these all bullshit?
Shampoos marketed for hair loss may not effectively prevent it, as they often focus on improving hair appearance rather than addressing underlying causes like androgenetic alopecia. Effective hair loss treatment typically requires DHT blockers like finasteride.

8 / 801 results- Do hair transplants leave scars? Hair transplants can leave scars, but FUE typically results in minimal and less visible scarring.
- Is a hair transplant painful? A hair transplant is generally comfortable due to local anesthesia, with mild post-procedure soreness possible.
- What are the risks and side effects of a hair transplant? Common risks include swelling, redness, infection, scarring, and temporary hair loss.
- Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.
- Is follistatin safe for use in women or transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy? No study has tested follistatin in women or transgender people on hormone therapy, and it has no approved human use or established dose; the one relevant signal, from a 2023 randomized study in adolescents with PCOS, links higher follistatin to less favourable metabolic markers, so the published evidence does not support using it in this group.
