    Reducing T&DHT on the scalp? the best topical anti-androgen ??

    I am tired of waiting finasteride to work(7months 1.25mg/day). It made only thinner my healthy hair.

    I want to try topical anti-androgens. Need advice please.

        RU and CB are the only viable topical treatments. Spiro doesnt do shit.

          How about Bicalumatide,flutamide,nilutamide etc. ? Do they work in a proper vehicle as a topical?

          I search anti-androgens on Wikipedia but i dont see RU,CB etc?

              Yes, I have, when taking what is considered the 'minimum' required dosage for efficacy (50mg/mL).

                Absolutely. They market a serum which is essentially beta-sitosterol applied topically.

                I used it for a while, but didn't feel like buying continually, and as it's a bit of a hassle to leave it in for 30min before washing out, as per instructions.

                  Wiki really wouldn't have any information on RU, CB, etc..

                        Yeah, around 10mg-20mg, or 1-2%. I don't believe anything is worsening in terms of gyne sides, 10-20mg seems to work alright for me.

                        Many feel it not effective at these lower levels, but it's all my body can tolerate, unfortunately. Better than doing nothing, in my mind.

                            If it gets into the bloodstream, it goes systemic.

                              Is there any way to prevent this or is part of the benefit obtained systemically? Doesn't seem like you could just wash off DHT so it must be systemic to reduce levels.
