    Balding!

    What steroids cause baldness? I am on a cycle of Test Prop and Masteron and I am noticing that I'm getting a receeding hairline. How can I stop it? HELP!

    Masteron is a DHT derived steroid , promoting hair loss if you are prone to it.

    most steroids can accelerate baldness if you are prone to male pattern baldness, if youre not prone, the risk is lower.

    Man, you chose 2 of the worst ones.

    Test without finasteride converts to dht and masteron is a dht derivate, and if you research you'll find out that dht is one of the main culprits of mpb.

    mpb kicked in for me after i started juiced a few years ago. I use Nioxin and Nizoral products to slow it down a little....did they work? Probably not, but it made me feel better. Juiced muscles or hair....i went with option A

    Masteron will wipe out a hairline if you're prone to MPB...

    Look around and research...there are products out there to help counter this side effect...

    You can try talking to your Dr. about MPB he may prescribe you propecia or an equivalent.... Those drug are made for your prostate but 1 of their sides is is hair growth and suppression on DHT. I take it EOD instead of ED as directed due to low levels of DHT possibly having the ability to cause gyno.

    Good luck

    Bro,

    Try taking some proscar for the test and spironolactone cream for the masteron .
    Nizoral shampoo 2% can also help.

    Propecia is made for MPB not prostate. Procscar is for prostate. The only difference? Propecia is 1mg and Proscar is 5mgs. It helps your hair by cutting around 80% of the DHT, the main culprit for hairloss. As Hugo stated a topical cream or shampoo will futher help you hair. Remember the pills will ONLY be effective in the conversion of Test into DHT, hence it is only useful against Testosterone .

    Any OTC anti-inflammatory/anti-fungal applied to the scalp will help. Nizoral is an anti-inflammatory/ anti-fungal shampoo. Skip the shapoos and get something that you can apply directly to your scalp and wear all day and night.

    You have to get used to the fact that it is going to thin with age anyway dude. There are things that will help, but if you are predestined to lose it, it's only a matter of time.

    Propecia is actually a milder version of Finasteride with milder sides and less chance of having sexual dysfunction as a side. Although your correct in stating that Propecia is more effect at combating MPB. My comment about the prostate included most of the drugs used for MPB hence the (or an equivalent). If you ever legally obtain any Propecia you will find in the pharmacy's instructions that the active drug is Finasteride which was original made for the prostate. Just so you know...

    ITs the same thing man. I think you may have meant that Propecia is actually a milder version of Proscar. They both contain finasteride. As I said Propecia is 1mg of finasteride while Proscar is 5mg of finasteride. Yes you are right that Proscar, which contains Finasteride, was orginally made for the prostate.

    in tests they found that I believe doses of as low as .2mg were just as effective as upto 5mg, they suggest you break up the 1mg pills even to save cash.
