      in Update  43 upvotes 3 years ago
      A user had a disappointing dermatologist appointment where they were denied prescriptions for Dutasteride and oral Minoxidil for hair loss and were only offered a hair transplant referral. Other users sympathized, discussed self-medication, and suggested consulting a transplant doctor for up-to-date treatments.

The original poster shared their experience of improved hair appearance after weight loss and dietary changes, despite skepticism from others about lighting differences in photos and the effectiveness of diet alone without finasteride or minoxidil.
