Testosterone influences brain development before birth, even in addition to orientation. It's not always easy to notice because a person who acts feminine, might have a lot of DHT in their body after puberty. There are benefits to androgens as well. In some studies, which are not really...

In "theory" all anti androgen medication for hair loss should affect the hairline and crown area equally. I wonder if DHT targets the hair that has been stretched out from head growth first because the areas already have less hair around the scalp. My son started using Minoxidil five years...

Did it ever restore gray hair pigmentation.

No problem. I'm old. My bad.

You are so right. My son is now using a prescribed shampoo with and Minxodil for his hair loss. I told him it doesn't do sh1t, but it's his body, his choice.

His overall density doesn't look good. His hairline does look better than when he was younger.

It's just a hair growth stimulator. It was found accidentally to grow hair. It probably doesn't do sh1t. I'm sure of that.

I am so relieved to see an intelligent post.

Does anybody know the dosage that actually helps with Androgen Alopecia? I am using this now, and I don't think it will do sh*t. I like my hair, so I'm not going to drop my other medications. Especially because this site is the dead zone, and nobody posts here, or they were banned years ago...

I would like to say you said something intelligent and funny, but since I rarely post here, and there's only two people at any given time, I need to stick with honesty. Also, you post a lot here, so people would know I'm lying.

Brian had work done. I think his "natural" hairline is probably a Norwood 4.

Density looks good.

I can grow a beard, but at my age, I look like Santa Clause.

Beard hair is DHT resistant. It would seem that would be the best way, unless the environment (where they are placed on the body) determines that.

I think topical would probably be more effective, because it directly hits the target area. Does anybody have any published studies of oral versus topical Minoxidil? (Hair effectiveness comparison). I take blood pressure medication, so oral is out of the question for me.
