Question 1

Does finasteride inhibit facial hair growth in men? i ask because finasteride reduces the conversion of testosterone into dht.

Accepted Answer

It actually does the opposite. Finasteride while blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT prevents the damage and decay that the DHT causes in the hair follicles. It is documented that finasteride makes the hair grow.

Question 2

Will rogaine (minoxidil) for men cause excessive facial hair growth on women?

Accepted Answer

Rogaine (minoxidil) only acts directly where it is applied. Men put it on their scalp in the front receding hairline area of in the back circle of hair loss. Women get more of a female pattern baldness when is overall equal hair loss from the entire scalp. You may use rogaine (minoxidil) for this, but be sure to wash your hands so you don't transfer it to areas where you don't want hair growth to be encouraged!

Question 3

I've been using rogaine (minoxidil) for men and clobetasol to treat traction alopecia for 3mos. i've experienced a lot of facial hair growth. what's causing this?

Accepted Answer

Excess facial hair in women is considered hirsutism. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/hirsutism/ds00858 for more info. Hirsutism may be genetic/familial (check out your mom, sisters & aunts). Or it could be due to excess testosterone & dihydrotestosterone (ask your doc to check via blood tests). Sometimes, medications can upset hormone balance. But rogaine (minoxidil) shouldn't cause thi.

Question 4

I was diagnosed with hypothyrodism month ago and the dr told me i had it long time ago! could it be the reason for slow facial hair growth?

Accepted Answer

A thyroid disorder can affect facial hair growth.  Now that you have been diagnosed, take the proper treatment and shaving often can help build up sturdy hair follicles and hopefully start to bring in a more mature thicker hair growth on your facial area. Best wishes.

Question 5

Will lifting weights increase facial hair growth in man?

Accepted Answer

I can't think of any reason that lifting weights would increase hair growth unless Anabolic steroids or testosterone was being used.  There are no known hormonal changes with exercise that would explain hair growth in men.  In women, aerobic exercise decreases estrogen, so male hormones become more dominant and one could see facial hair & acne increase.  This is an increasing problem in women.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Many (maybe most) women nowadays say they prefer a smooth-faced, smooth-chested man. From Paul Newman, the most-admired physical specimen of his era, to Justin Bieber, men who can't grow beards have been admired. Forget superstition, get really physically fit, and you'll look great and be happy. And there's nothing you'll be able to do to get a beard to grow if you're normally masculinized now.
