A 27-year-old male is experiencing a recurring pattern of hair loss after 5 months of using oral minoxidil and finasteride, despite initial success. He is considering using topical androgen receptor blockers like RU58841, pyrilutamide, or clascoterone to address potential androgen receptor hypersensitivity.
community Just a reminder not everything is about dht blockers and why vitamins are important
The conversation discusses the impact of vitamins, stress reduction, and appropriate shampoo on hair health, with the original poster noting slight improvements after two months of using vitamins B5, B6, zinc, and a suitable shampoo. Many users express skepticism about the effectiveness of vitamins for hair loss unless there is a deficiency, emphasizing the importance of addressing DHT and considering 5AR inhibitors.
community Ultimate Non-5AR (fin/dut) stack?
The conversation discusses alternatives to 5AR inhibitors for hair loss treatment, suggesting options like minoxidil, KX-826, pyrilutimide, microneedling, and topical bicalutamide. Concerns about side effects and the effectiveness of these treatments are also highlighted.
community A better treatment would be a localized 5ar inhibitor that breaks down when it enters blood or leaves hair follicle
The conversation discusses the need for a localized 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that only affects the scalp without systemic side effects, similar to pyrilutamide's approach. Current treatments like topical liposomal finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned, but concerns about their systemic effects and lack of research are highlighted.
community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?
Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.
