I'm dealing with almost complete baldness for the past 10 years. Do you think it's a good idea for me to try refollium, which is a DHT blocker? I'm wondering if it could help or if I should be concerned about any side effects. What are your thoughts?

I've been using the Supatret C gel on my chin for 30 minutes as you suggested, but now my skin feels burnt. What should I do next? I'm a bit worried about this reaction. Is there something specific I should apply or avoid until it heals?

Pls stop taking the medication, a dermat opinion is advised to the paient.

I'm dealing with hair loss and a bit of baldness, and I read somewhere that glutathione might help. Can you tell me if it's effective for this issue? Just want to know if it's worth trying out.

Glutathione is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body. While there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that glutathione may have benefits for hair health, there is limited scientific research to support its effectiveness specifically for hair loss and baldness. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on managing hair loss and baldness.
