Regular Member Cheddar Posted October 6, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2017 Has anyone tried or familiar with topical finasteride? Apparently it is available through H&W and they claim significant decreased risk of side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted October 6, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2017 There has not been anyone commenting on their results or experiences with topical finasteride that I have seen within the forums. Maybe do some research through your search engines and see what is available or just contact H & W to see what they have to offer. If one clinic has it, chances are there are others who have it as well. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Senior Member Speegs Posted October 6, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'd be curious to learn about this, as I have no experience with it personally or anecdotally. I'd be curious to see how that effects the scalp's response to DHT since it's not directly effecting the blood stream the way the traditional intake of finasteride does.

Senior Member gillenator Posted October 10, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2017 It does not appear to be systemic and must affect the sebum in the scalp?
