A user diagnosed with Crohn's disease is concerned it might contribute to balding. They have been using keto shampoo, finasteride, and oral minoxidil, which improved their hair but not significantly.
community PP405 mechanism question - looking for discussion
PP405 may promote short-term hair growth by pushing follicles into the growth phase, but concerns exist about long-term effects due to lack of rest phases. Users discuss various treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, spironolactone, alfatradiol, and investigational drugs like KX-826 and GT20029 for hair maintenance and regrowth.
community Will PP405 work if even dutasteride / fin failed to halt hair loss?
The conversation discusses the ineffectiveness of dutasteride in halting hair loss for the user and explores the potential of PP405, which works through a different mechanism. Suggestions include considering a biopsy to determine the cause of hair loss and exploring other treatments like RU58841.
community Dutasteride thins eyebrows and facial hair but doesn't stop scalp loss.
Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalp hair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
community Not everyone should immediately go on Fin if they are starting to bald
The conversation suggests that people should consult a dermatologist to understand their type of hair loss before starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride, especially if they have autoimmune issues or low DHT. Some participants believe in starting treatment like finasteride immediately if hair loss is due to DHT, while others recommend ruling out other causes and considering minoxidil first, especially for younger individuals.
