5 / 1000+ resultscommunity I built an AI tool to track hair loss with metrics (beta) — looking for critical feedback
A user created a web app called TrichoMetrics to track hair loss using photos and metrics like density and thinning. The app supports tracking treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride, with features for setting baselines, comparing progress, and logging treatment adherence.
community Why does hair on the sides of my scalp grow only to a short length?
Hair loss, genetics and possible treatments such as minoxidil, dermarolling and finasteride.
community Almost exactly a year apart. Trying to let it grow and blend a bit. 41 years old.
A user shared their one-year progress using Dutasteride, oral and topical Minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling tools from Amazon, and credits learning from top posters on the forum. Other users discuss the effectiveness of the treatments, affordability, and reflect on the benefits of starting treatment early.
community Finasteride gives me seb derm. Thoughts on zinc or other options?
A user with diffuse hair loss after taking accutane, which might have triggered genetic predisposition to AGA; their experience taking finasteride and experiencing side effects of increased oil production, increased sex drive, worsening hair texture; they are considering zinc supplementation with finasteride or other treatments such as alfatradiol or spironolactone.
community Does onion juice actually stop hair fall, or is it just hype?
Onion juice may temporarily improve hair health by boosting blood circulation and providing antibacterial benefits, but it is ineffective against genetic or hormonal hair loss. Proven treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are recommended for more reliable results.
