User wants to make homemade topical finasteride to minimize side effects and asks about using glycerin, stirring time, storage, and alternative solvents. Another user's comment is unclear.
A 22-year-old male has been using finasteride for 4 months without major side effects but is concerned about hormone test results showing low SHBG and high estrogen. He plans to consult a doctor and is considering alternatives like minoxidil or topical finasteride to avoid health issues.
Finasteride can cause gynecomastia due to hormonal imbalances. Management includes consulting an endocrinologist and using aromatase inhibitors like anastrozole or supplements like DIM and zinc.
A user shared 3 months of hair loss progress using topical minoxidil 5%, biotin, and increased protein. The user noted steady improvement and the benefit of progress pictures.
The conversation discusses personal experiences with hair loss and highlights the potential impact of anemia and nutrient deficiencies on hair health. Treatments mentioned include changing shampoo/conditioner, taking MSM, collagen, hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin, B12, folate, and bovine blood capsules.
Aloe vera gel can help reduce scalp inflammation and "DHT itch" associated with hair loss, particularly in those with androgenic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis. It's suggested to use aloe vera alongside treatments like finasteride and ketoconazole shampoo to manage symptoms and promote scalp health.
The conclusion of the conversation is that the user, djamezz, has experienced significant regrowth and improved density in their hairline by using treatments such as RU (RU58841), dut (dutasteride), and Inkey's Caffeine Scalp treatment. They are satisfied with their progress and do not plan to cut off their hair.
The user experienced anxiety and side effects from topical finasteride and is considering switching to saw palmetto. Another user reported no improvement with saw palmetto and experienced liver issues.
