Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
Finasteride maintains existing hair, but Minoxidil is less effective on hairlines. Walton Goggins is admired for his receding hairline, possibly using Finasteride and Minoxidil without a hair transplant.
Hair loss in men is primarily caused by androgenetic alopecia, with treatments like finasteride and dutasteride often recommended. Other causes include stress, nutritional deficiencies, medications, and scalp infections.
Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.
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.
