Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.

A user is seeking feedback on a homemade topical finasteride formula for hair loss, consisting of 7.5 mg of finasteride, propylene glycol, ethanol, and distilled water. They aim to achieve a 0.0125% solution by applying 2 ml daily.

A dermatologist checked for hereditary hair loss using blood tests and plans to perform a trichogram. The user had slightly low Vitamin D3 levels, and the trichogram may help confirm androgenetic alopecia.

The conversation discusses the fluctuation of testosterone levels in men under 40 and the difference between serum DHT and scalp DHT. It also mentions that DHT levels are higher on Dutasteride than on Finasteride, which is unusual.

Lighting can significantly affect the perception of hair progress in photos. The user has been using dutasteride and oral minoxidil for hair loss, noting improvements after switching from finasteride.

The user is switching from oral to DIY topical finasteride due to side effects and is using a solution with 10 mg finasteride in a 100 mL mixture. They are concerned about the effectiveness of the formula due to white sediment forming in the solution.

People are discussing making their own PP405 for hair loss treatment using JLX069 and DMSO. There is skepticism about the safety and effectiveness of this homemade solution, with some users expressing concerns about potential risks.

The conversation discusses how the absorption rate of topical finasteride varies and is not equivalent to its oral form, with only a small percentage reaching the scalp. It also mentions that minoxidil in high concentrations is used topically because only a small amount is absorbed.

A user started using homemade topical finasteride with PG-free liquid minoxidil for hair loss. They noticed the solution became milky with floaters and asked if it needed filtering.
