Does lycopene reduce DHT level the same way Finasteride does?

waxim.abbaxJul 15, 2018
Are there any scientific studies that indicate a reduction in DHT level with Lycopene consumption through food or supplement? If yes, is it as strong as Finasteride?

Fluocinolone drops are not known to cause hair growth. If you have a hair growth problem, see a hair expert physician

You can, but it may lead to hair loss. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
