The user is experiencing severe hair loss, possibly due to telogen effluvium, after stress, poor nutrition, and hormonal changes. They are using Nizoral and supplements but are considering hormonal treatments like spironolactone despite previous side effects.
The user started using a hair loss treatment called pyrilutamide and experienced mild chest discomfort and tightness, similar to previous side effects from RU58841. They plan to reduce the dosage due to these side effects and will provide an update on the results in 1-2 months.
Pyrilutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug under development for the potential treatment of androgenic alopecia. The conversation discusses its binding affinity to the androgen receptor and the timeline for possible availability after trials are completed in the United States and China.
Winlevi (clascoterone 1%) is being discussed as a potential hair loss treatment. Users are considering its use despite concerns about its delivery method.
The conversation is about a user trying a new hair loss treatment, Ruxolitinib, alongside their existing regimen of finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and microneedling. They plan to apply Ruxolitinib to their temples daily for 1-2 months.
A user is experiencing rapid hair loss and has been diagnosed with telogen effluvium by multiple dermatologists, but doubts the diagnosis due to the severity and speed of the hair loss. They are considering various treatments like spironolactone, estradiol, and possibly finasteride, while also exploring the possibility of hormonal imbalances or autoimmune issues.
A trans woman is experiencing hair loss and is considering treatments like cyproterone, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil. She is concerned about potential hair growth on her face, chest, or legs due to minoxidil.
The conversation discusses the delay in the release of a new hair loss treatment, Pyrilutamide, and speculates on potential safety concerns as a reason for the delay. It also mentions GT20029 as another future treatment option, with a release at least five years away, and touches on the avoidance of research chemicals due to uncertainty about their authenticity.
KX-826 (Pyrilutamide) 0.5% and 1.0% solutions showed promising results in increasing hair count for male androgenetic alopecia, with the 0.5% dose slightly outperforming the 1% dose. The treatment was well-tolerated with no sexual side effects, but skepticism remains due to past inconsistencies in trial results.
Estrogen injections significantly improved hair growth, particularly on the crown, after stopping finasteride. Monotherapy with estrogen led to hairline improvement, but also caused sterility and potential feminization effects.
Some users have experienced good hair regrowth with estradiol, cyproterone acetate, spironolactone, and bicalutamide, but these treatments may cause feminization and other side effects. It's advised to consult a doctor before using these treatments, as they can lower testosterone and have significant risks.
The user is seeking advice on hair transplant techniques and surgeons to reshape a natural widow's peak into a more rounded hairline, preferring long hair transplants with minimal scarring and maximum density.

The safety of the drug has been demonstrated in 6 months of use, however there are still questions about long term efficacy and systemic absorption.
Dr. Bloxham's trial is testing verteporfin on hair transplant patients to see if it can improve hair regrowth in treated areas. People are discussing the potential for follicle regeneration, expected results timeline, and concerns about side effects like cancer.
A dermatologist advised a patient to stop taking finasteride (fin) after turning 40 due to potential risk of aggressive prostate cancer. The patient and others in the conversation debated this advice, discussing the relationship between finasteride, prostate cancer, and hair loss, and considering alternatives like topical finasteride.
A 22-year-old female with AGA due to PCOS is using 5% minoxidil foam and 2mg finasteride daily, and is seeking advice on microneedling frequency and safety. Concerns about finasteride dosage and its effects on PCOS were discussed, with emphasis on trusting the prescribed treatment plan.
