[24m] High Dht Levels Scalp Inflammation

[stump]

So after about 2 years of experiencing an insanely painful red scalp, I haven't lost too much ground. I'm not currently on any medication but I have in the past tried saw palmetto and a handful of other natural pills and vitamins that probably did nothing but hurt my wallet... I've never taken any of the big 3, except keto for dandruff.

With all that being said, I still have a very painful red itchy, just downright awful feeling scalp situation. The pain and itch comes and goes but my scalp is almost always redder than it should be if it was normal.

I had my DHT levels checked about a year ago iirc. They were within the "normal" range but on the upper end, nearly out of range. So I do have higher than average DHT. I'm seriously contemplating taking finasteride for the scalp pain and inflammation.

Has anyone taken finasteride and saw a reduction in scalp inflammation, itch, and pain? My main concern with taking this pill is sperm motility. I don't want this to effect my ability to have kids one day. I'm also concerned about the other sexual side effects but less so because I already have a sex drive that is through the roof. I'm talking masturbating up to ten times a day easily. I'm just mainly concerned about watery sperm and reducing my fertility.

Please if anyone has any experience with something similar to what I mentioned here let me know. Thanks guys!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I do have an incredibly oily scalp and I get very bad dandruff at times. I also get scalp pimples too

Honestly over the last two years I've probably googled every combination of those keywords you could think of and read most of the resulting links. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or similar stories to mine.

i cant personally help mate, i never had any real problems with my scalp, just a bit of itching every now and then. hopefully others here can help, but i always found those google searches pretty helpful

Hydrocortisone 1% cream is your solution.

ive been reading up about this stuff mate. has been talked about a lot over the years in forums.

but generally regarded as a bad idea to use long term as it thins the skin

how long do you plan to use it for?

 

[Medina]

Sex drive through the roof, scalp inflammation, itch, pimples, excessive masturbation

Sounds like you have some form of Hyperandrogenism

Inflammation is not a real thing. Your body eliciting an immune response to an injury is as much of a myth as climate change, or evolution. Ask any derm and they will tell you that the itching, burning, crawling is all in your head. We know this from senior members such as @WhitePolarBear and @shookwun.

How can it be in my head when I have bumps and dandruff in the regions associated with the pain and itch? Also how can it be that once I wash my scalp it usually calms it down? I think it has to do with over production of sebum, which makes my scalp have a lot of bacteria on it

I've used this stuff before on other parts of my body and yeah long term use is definitely not ideal. My skin in that area got very dry so I don't see how it'd be beneficial on my scalp.

This is probably very possible. And I am pretty hairy, except for my back and some chest. I'm not sure how to treat this and I was reading that in men hyperandrogenism is usually negligible or manifests itself as uncharacteristic anger swings, which I guess I do sometimes exhibit
