    GlossaryClascoterone

    topical medication that blocks androgen receptors to treat hair loss

    Clascoterone is a topical medication used to treat acne and androgenetic alopecia (a common form of hair loss). It works by blocking androgen receptors in the skin, which helps reduce the effects of hormones like testosterone that can contribute to these conditions.

Users mention other treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and pyrilutamide, with some expressing skepticism about clascoterone's effectiveness for hair loss.
