6 / 1000+ resultscommunity 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 Why Is No One Talking About Chromosome 20?
Some hair loss may be linked to chromosome 20, which isn't affected by DHT blockers like finasteride. Treatments like minoxidil, microneedling, and genetic testing are suggested, but their effectiveness for this type of hair loss is uncertain.
community 20M and male pattern baldness is ruining my life
A 20-year-old is dealing with male pattern baldness and considering finasteride despite concerns about side effects. Users recommend treatments like minoxidil, dutasteride, and lifestyle changes, stressing early intervention.
community 21M, Thinning on Top with Family History, Seeking Treatment Options
A 21-year-old with a family history of early balding is advised to see a dermatologist to confirm androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and consider treatments like finasteride or dutasteride to prevent further hair loss, and minoxidil, possibly with tretinoin, to regrow hair. Caution is advised with oral minoxidil, and a cardiologist should be consulted before use.
community Why does MPB only affect the scalp
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be influenced by androgen receptors in scalp hair follicles and potentially poor blood flow. Transplanted hair is not immune to DHT, and factors like inflammation and scalp tension might also contribute to hair loss.
community Interesting new publication suggesting that MPB should be assessed as a early warning sign for type-2 diabetes.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be an early warning sign for type 2 diabetes due to its association with insulin resistance. Treatments discussed include testosterone therapy and finasteride, which affects hormone levels related to hair loss and insulin sensitivity.
