Finasteride and Inflammation?
I’ve been on Finasteride for 3-4months now and I’ve been going through and immense shed. I’m losing hair on my crown , on my middle area , temples have receded 1 inch and my front sides are thinning. I’m 19 years old and understand that my hair loss is quite aggressive. One thing that I cannot understand is why my inflammation has not declined since I have introduced Finasteride.
Since Finasteride inhibits DHT , and DHT is the cause of inflammation (immune response to DHT attacking follicles) Shouldn’t a reduction in DHT cause a reduction in inflammation?
I know Ketoconazole in products such as Nizoral and Revtia will help with inflammation , but I was curious to see if there would be a drop in inflammation.
If you truly have inflammation, I would strongly suggest you see your doctor for a physical exam. Normal male pattern baldness (MPB), otherwise known as androgenic alopecia (AGA), is genetic and DHT is responsible for it, but it does not cause inflammation that you can see. DHT does not cause an immune response or attack hair follicles. The source of the information you have is not reliable.
