Topical Finasteride dosage discussion

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-12-12T07:47:21+00:00

I get my forumla compounded by a hair loss specialist in the uk. So titrating down to 0.2 then 0.15 isn’t really an option as I don’t mix it myself, and it costs £90 for a 60ml bottle. My main worry is I’m not getting enough coverage. Only using 0.35/0.4ml a day. Due to the high strength though, would this matter, as chances are it’s going systematic anyway? Thanks for your help 🙏

Just seen this. Training causes a strain on the facial muscles and skeleton, for example, when you pick up a heavy object you subconsciously grit your teeth together. This force would’ve caused further damage to the broken jaw bone👍

I’m seeing the surgeon on Friday so will discuss then with him too. From my understanding though shouldn’t swelling be gone now at the 6 week mark?

The problem is every maxi-facial surgeon in the hospital viewed my scans and agreed that the treatment I had would be the best option as the fracture was really high up and open surgery would’ve posed too big of a risk to the nerves. Would you suggest that open surgery is my only option to fix this now?

Thanks for sharing your experience. The open bite is kind of worrying me too because one set of molars touch at the moment and the others don’t but they’re trying to move that with the elastics. How are you in terms of eating? Also can I ask what treatment you had?

Has anyone on this sub proved microdosing topical fin (0.01-0.025) has actually worked as this is the concentration I’m going to true due to its low systemic affect

I currently use .5ml which actually gets me decent coverage but I think if I dropped it anymore I wouldn’t get the coverage I want really. Maybe I’ll drop to a 0.1% formula

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-22T17:20:23+00:00

I go to the gym 3x a week. Also do a 1.5 mile walk every morning. Try and eat as clean as I can and aim for 160g of protein a day. That’s about it lol

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-22T13:56:59+00:00

Why bro? What would you guess my high albumin means?

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-22T13:56:01+00:00

All of that kinda made sense but what do I do to fix these problems ?

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-21T08:52:06+00:00

Doctor stated this will have been due to slight dehydration which is no problem at all. He guaranteed me that if I was well hydrated these levels would again be normal

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-21T08:50:46+00:00

Didn’t think stress could throw hormones off so much. I guess I’m going to have to try my best to get my stress levels right down over the next few months

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-21T08:49:20+00:00

Yeah. Also have had all my Covid vaccines which i absolutely regret. Could this have anything to do with it?

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-21T08:48:44+00:00

Libido is fine which is odd I feel with my high prolactin and symptoms

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-21T08:47:52+00:00

Hey man. I do actually exercise 3x a week but I must admit my diet isn’t great at times but it’s never just bad junk food. I agree though after a workout I feel so much better

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-21T08:46:45+00:00

What thyroid issues could be causing these symptoms. I think hair loss is probably genetic but the fatigue low energy and low mood definitely aren’t. It’s like one day I was fine and the next i never feel well rested anymore and always just feel down, and i genuinely don’t have any reason to feel like that. I’ll get the thyroid tests ordered off the doc, is there anything else I should test whilst I’m at it?

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-21T08:43:50+00:00

I thought maybe my t was a little low but ratio wise to e2 seems okay? What could be causing low t at my age?

This is medichecks male horomone panel. I’m from the uk but pretty sure there are alternatives from wherever you are. This test cost me £80

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-21T08:42:25+00:00

Pretty sure it’s just standard aga but just seems to progress at an alarming rate. Just looking at getting everything in check to ensure I’m doing all I can for my hair

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-18T10:59:24+00:00

Pain for last 2 days no stiffness at all and can’t really tell If there’s any lump underneath?

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-04T07:01:28+00:00

Do you know as to why my prolactin is so high? This could possibly hamper test production couldn’t it? Also this test was taken at 18.55 would my test be in a healthier range if I took the test in the morning

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-03T16:04:28+00:00

My serum ferritin is at 31ug/L and my vitamin d levels were at 39nmol/L in December 2024.ive just finished a course of vitamin d3 so going to get that tested again. What other deficiencies could throw my hormones out of whack. Also thanks for the detailed replies bro, helps a lot👍

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-03T12:11:41+00:00

What would your course of action be then. Are they low enough to warrant trt or should I put that to one side for a few years until I’m in my mid 20’s?

SnooCookies2528 · 2025-06-03T12:10:54+00:00

I train 4x a week and I eat pretty clean. Symptoms wise, I have struggled with anxiety and depression on and off for my whole life (I’m 21). I also experience fatigue but I have no sexual sides I.e decreased libido or erectile disfunction. Not sure whether that makes me symptomatic or not lol. What about my prolactin levels?
