5 / 307 resultscommunity Hair not shedding but thinning on dut? Not a good sign imo.
The conversation is about a user concerned about hair thinning despite using finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and recently adding dutasteride. Most responses suggest there is no noticeable difference in hair loss, attributing concerns to paranoia, and recommend continuing the current treatment or adjusting expectations.
community Dermarolling for Diffused Thinning.
The user experienced noticeable hair growth after starting dermarolling with a 1mm device, using minoxidil, and nizoral shampoo. They plan to reduce dermarolling frequency to three times a week and are considering additional treatments like finasteride or a hair transplant for increased hair density.

9 / 801 results- Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.
- Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
- Can a Vitamin E deficiency contribute to thinning hair? A Vitamin E deficiency can contribute to hair thinning in severe cases.
- Is applying Estradiol directly to the scalp effective for hormone-related hair thinning? Applying Estradiol directly to the scalp may help with hormone-related hair thinning.
- Can a zinc deficiency directly cause hair thinning or increased shedding? Studies link low serum zinc to diffuse shedding and alopecia areata, and severe deficiency states cause hair loss that reverses when zinc is replaced. The evidence is mostly observational, the one supplementation study was small and uncontrolled, and zinc is not a treatment for pattern hair loss.
