I've been dealing with acne for the past six months and I'm thinking about trying tretiva. I'm wondering if tretiva works the same as accutane, which is known to be quite pricey in other countries. Does tretiva provide similar results?

I'm a 28-year-old guy and I've just found out my DHT levels are higher than the normal range; mine are 1221 pgml, while the normal range is 250-990. I've noticed I'm also dealing with an itchy scalp and hair loss. Could there be a link between my high DHT levels and these issues? I'm really curious if that's what's causing it and what I should do about it.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
