The user added P5P (vitamin B6) to their shampoo to reduce scalp itch, which improved significantly. They have been using finasteride for hair loss but are exploring additional treatments like topical antiandrogens and prolactin inhibitors.
The conversation discusses using P5P (Vitamin B6) supplements to reduce elevated Prolactin levels and concerns about its potential effect on increasing DHT levels. The user is not currently using finasteride or any anti-androgens.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatment options, focusing on finasteride and its potential effects on gynecomastia. The user is considering finasteride while managing hormone levels with supplements like boron, vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, and P5P, and is advised to consult an endocrinologist for further evaluation.
The conversation discusses using DIM and Zinc alongside Finasteride to manage gynecomastia symptoms. Users suggest taking Zinc at different times and adding other supplements like Vitamin D, B complex, and B6 to help with the issue.
