Should I just get the 5% foam and be done with it? And any particular recs for a combination minoxidil/finasteride topical (other than Morr-F from India)? Thank you.

The easy advice is: Why are you on a statin? Probably because your diet is less than ideal. You'd be better off making dietary changes and seeing if things improve.

Yeah. You didn't mention why you quit the drug.

Hi, all. I am working with someone who has written an Rx for topical finasteride, but they balked when I tried to add things like minoxidil or caffeine. Can someone recommend a doctor in either of these areas that are a bit more lenient when it comes to writing scripts for this stuff? Thank you.

BUTWHYTHO: These are not antibiotic dosages. I don't think you read my post carefully or have done any research.

I would highly doubt this product can do you any harm. I take my own set of supplements that contain *most* of their key ingredients (except saw palmetto, as I would probably just go on finasteride if I wanted to a DHT blocker). I think the actives have the potential to help.

why would you take saw palmetto if you have yet to start taking finasteride? wouldn't you try finasteride first for a few months?

Do you have any other scalp/skin issues? I assume you are referring to Oracea (low-dose doxy)? If so, I am trying it now, but I also have acne and seborrheic dermatitis. I've only been using it a few weeks, but no improvement just yet.

Other than PRP (or trying maybe 0.5mg per day of finasteride), you have few options left. I wouldn't worry--you look very handsome.

Keep in mind that a dermatologist who specializes in alopecia is not going to know significantly more than an overall good dermatologist. At this point in time, they all only know so much. Also, even Dr. Tosti, who is arguably the best/most knowledgeable in the world, is pushing PRP. In terms...

I would definitely supplement with zinc on days where you have sex.

What did she say about pea protein? Never heard anything positive or negative about this in my life. That said, diet can affect every aspect of her health.

Do you have any facial skin conditions?

OP: scalp inflammation and androgenic alopecia go hand in hand. do you have "dandruff" (seborrheic dermatitis)?

May I ask where the study is showing 0.5mg is as effective as 1mg?
