No not really

Any thoughts on using cyclodextrins as a topical E2 delivery mechanism to avoid systemic effects? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2663695/

Hi Guys, Wanted to give an extreme long term update, I'm at like 12+ years now. Basically have stayed strong the whole time, some minor diffuse thinning everywhere (basically from aging probably). My regimen has basically stayed some combination of dutasteride/finasteride + minoxidil. I dropped nizoral a long...

What I mean by that is, if you start at the age of 19, with having some parts of your facial hair still not being terminal and thick, will antiandrogens make them never develop into terminal hairs? Or is this all decided by Testosterone and not DHT?

Hi Guys, I've jumped on the dermaroller wagon. Quick question. After my first time, it didn't really hurt and I did not get much blood. Is that fine? I was pressing fairly hard.

I don't agree with this. I started treatments when I was 18. I'm 25 now and the hairloss is just continuing. All I did was buy myself time and false hope.

Hi guys, just wanted to update you. Treatments are going alright. I am seeing a little more diffuse thinning over time. I've been thinking of adding S5 Cream or something like that. What do you guys think?

I'm taking dutasteride 0.5mg 4/7 days of the week. I increased it a month ago because I noticed my shedding in the shower increased a lot. Before I was taking dutasteride 2/7 days of the week. I use rogaine only 5 nights a week because it gives me such bad irritation. Nizoral only about once a week.

October 2009: May 2011: What do you guys think? Seems like overall thickness is lower

Hey guys just checking in, this is my 27month update. Month 27: Month 18: I feel like I don't really recede much anymore, but to me it feels and seems like the entire top is very slowly is thinning. What do you guys think?

how is the acne, side effects, breast tenderness etc? Are you shedding more or less in the shower? If I remember correctly, the 3-5 month mark was when I did the most thickening up.

Looks like you're doing pretty well honestly.. I can't even tell you're balding.

I can also attest to my acne completely clearing up. I only had mild acne, but I at least always had one pimple. I haven't seen a pimple in about 2 months, though they do come up occasionally. Also, I know for a fact this is not due to aging, because when I had quit finasteride for about 4 months my...

Re: 1 year 5 month update I think my duprost is from UnitedPharmacies I can't remember. As far as dutasteride vs finasteride, I would say the benefits of dutasteride over finasteride are barely any or negligible. I think Switching from finasteride to dutasteride caused some kind of shed though, so it might be better to just stay on one...

Re: 1 year 5 month update Jan 2009 April 2010 I think is a little more diffused on the top, hard to tell though. If you look at the density of the strands of hair that are behind the hair band you can see a difference. What do you guys think? What norwood would you say I am?
