The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.
The post is about a user who stopped using finasteride for hair loss and shaved his head, receiving positive feedback. The conversation includes discussions on side effects of finasteride, including potential fertility issues, and alternatives like minoxidil, dermarolling, and hair systems.
Concerns about a potential ban on finasteride and dutasteride due to side effects, with users advocating for continued access and informed choice. Alternative treatments like pyrilutamide are also mentioned.
Minoxidil users discuss skin-care routines to counteract side effects like dark circles and dull skin. Recommendations include vitamin C, potassium, collagen, retinol, nizoral shampoo, and emu oil.
Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
