5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Losing Hair on Dutasteride? You might have LPP
Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.
community DUPA/Retrograde might not be DHT based...GET A BIOPSY QUICK or permanent Hair Loss!
DUPA and retrograde alopecia may not be solely DHT-based, and a biopsy is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Treatments mentioned include dutasteride, oral minoxidil, pioglitazone, clobetasol, calcipotriol, ketoconazole, and doxycycline, depending on the specific condition.
community One year of progress (Fin, 1mg)
The user started finasteride (1mg) a year ago for hair thinning, experiencing stabilization but not significant regrowth. Suggestions included adding minoxidil, microneedling, and considering a hair transplant for improved results.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community What do you think about this prescription
