5 / 25 resultscommunity Hair Loss & Lipids: Why you have sebderm, folliculitis, LPP, inflammation, etc...
Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
community Hair progress over 7 years (Oral fin 1mg + oral min 2.5mg + topical min 5% + micro-needling)

community Dutasteride Literally Saves Your Hair
Dutasteride significantly reduces scalp DHT levels and can save hair, though shedding is part of the process. Some users report success with dutasteride, while others struggle despite using it along with finasteride and oral minoxidil.
community If the big duo don’t work Time to give up?
If oral minoxidil 2.5mg and finasteride 1mg fail after a year, some suggest trying dutasteride. Hair shedding can be normal in the first year, and real changes often occur between 9 months to a year.
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.
