A user with androgenic alopecia seeks advice on making topical spironolactone from pills due to poor reactions to the oral form and its unavailability in their country. They are looking for guidance on preparing it themselves.

The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.

The user switched from Finasteride to topical Dutasteride, Pyrilutamide, and Minoxidil due to hair loss, then decided to switch to oral Dutasteride because of pregnancy concerns. They are considering the frequency of oral Dutasteride use, with suggestions of using it a few times a week for better results and fewer side effects.

The user has high free testosterone and is still experiencing hair loss despite taking dutasteride and oral minoxidil for over three years. They are considering adding a topical anti-androgen like RU58841.

The user is exploring alternatives to finasteride and dutasteride due to concerns about side effects, and is using rosemary and jojoba oil, ketoconazole, minoxidil, microneedling, multi-peptide serum, saw palmetto, and stinging nettle for hair loss. They are also considering CB 03 01 and spironolactone.

Topical spironolactone is available in the UK for men to block androgen receptors locally. The user seeks opinions or experiences from others who have used it.

A female user in her mid-20s with androgenetic alopecia and suspected telogene effluvium who has been taking Dutasteride, Spironolactone, Minoxidil, Dermarolling, Ketoconazol shampoo, and Yaz contraception for her hair loss for the past 6 months. She had a small shed during this time that she believes to be stress related.

The user continues to experience hair loss despite using dutasteride 2.5mg, minoxidil 5mg, and ciclopirox shampoo, and plans to reassess after one year. Others report similar issues with dutasteride, with some switching to finasteride or adding RU58841.

Using high doses of testosterone with RU58841 to create an androgen-free environment for hair regrowth is suggested, but concerns about heart health and the effectiveness of this approach are raised. Alternatives like topical estrogen, progesterone, and other treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are discussed.

A 24-year-old shared their successful hair restoration journey, which included a hair transplant in Turkey, dutasteride, and topical minoxidil. They also started testosterone replacement therapy, which improved their quality of life and hair condition, and they now feel confident and satisfied with the results.
