The conversation discusses hairloss where only short, thin hairs are being shed after 16 weeks of using dutasteride, with no visible regrowth. One response suggests that shedding short hairs is a positive sign, indicating that the hairfollicles are still active and responding to treatment.
A user's transformation from an accountant to a spartan with a full beard, discussing the potential of DUPA and alopecia areata, as well as treatments like vitamins, topicals, and natural treatments for potential regrowth.
Pyrilutamide is discussed as a potential hairloss treatment, acting as an androgen receptor antagonist. The conversation questions if it can maintain hair long-term without using finasteride.
The user stabilized hairloss with oral finasteride, dutasteride, and topical minoxidil, and underwent a stem cell and PRP procedure. Recent increased hair shedding may be due to restarting dermarolling, affecting minoxidil absorption, or the waning effects of the stem cell treatment.
Hairloss was triggered by a testosterone and Masteron cycle, causing scalp tension and shedding. Topical finasteride, RU58841, and oral minoxidil were used to stop shedding and improve scalp condition.
