Recently started topical Minoxidil 5% and 0.25% Finasteride as didn't want to take the oral Finasteride. Is that the best option? Or, is topical Dutasteride a good option with strong evidence? Any evidence on saw palmetto, pumpkin seeds..etc? And what dose have strong evidence as they are plenty of different info on the web? Thanks a lot doctors and stay safe!

Answer: Topical finasteride and dutasteride The experience with topical finasteride (some less experience with topical dutasteride) suggest that this is a good approach to hair loss that produces less side effects than oral medications. Saw palmetto is not a strong or effective DHT blocker

Answer: Why don't you consider doing PRP i, personally, have had great results with PRP. You can see my results on my web site. i very much like the fact that no drugs are involved. Almost no risks of side effects. There are good medical studies showing increased hair density and increased number of hair follicles. You should plan 3 sessions, each done one month apart. After each of my treatments, i just rinsed my scalp in the sink and went straight to the gym. We apply a numbing cream before doing the PRP which helps. Still bit uncomfortable but not too bad at all.david berman md
