Topical finasteride or dutasteride with deca

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

So for those who were genetically effected by androgenic alopecia whether its minor or major, if mixing finasteride with deca raises androgenic activity big-time, is it because its in the system or in the scalp? or it wouldn't matter ?

would using topical finasteride or dutasteride while on deca raise androgenic scalp concentration in the scalp causing an undesirable effect the opposite effect of what a person is using it for?

5-alpha reductase converts Testosterone into DHT. DHT is a stronger AR agonist than Testosterone. Hence, when taking Testosterone, blocking 5-alpha reductase with Finasteride or Dutasteride will lower androgen receptor activation in tissues such as the scalp.

5-alpha reductase converts Nandrolone into DHN. DHN is a weaker AR agonist than Nandrolone. Hence, when taking Nandrolone, blocking 5-alpha reductase with Finasteride or Dutasteride will increase androgen receptor activation in tissues such as the scalp.

Whether the Finasteride/Dutasteride enters the tissue of the scalp systemically or via topical administration makes no difference. Blocking 5-alpha reductase while on Deca is always a bad idea.

There's curcumin (purportedly a natural 5aRi and antiandrogen) and monistat.

On paper the combination seems as if it would be plausible in controlling androgenic alopecia.
