ITCHY DRY SCALP ? Crashed estro and DHT ?'s
Hey guys been suffering from dry skin and itchy scalp as well as weak hair follicles. i ended up getting blood work and estro was in the gutter and DHT level was high at 101. its been 12 days since and haven't taken any adex. iv been on 400mg of test cyp . im starting to feel better now little better pumps and finally waking up with some morning wood hear and there.
Main problem has been my scalp past couple months been super dry/ flaky and itchy as well as my skin. I was thinking this was all do to having low estro but haven't gotten any relief yet. Has anyone experienced this and if so how long did it take for skin to get back to normal after crashed estro>?
also i thought maybe its from my use of finasteride. i took finasteride 1mg ed about 7 months ago and ran it for a good 3-4 months. i stopped because i thought it was causing me to get dry skin which was aggravating my skin since i have eczema but since then it hasnt been any better so not sure if it was a factor in this or not. Now DHT is elevated and still having dry skin problems.
Im prescirbed 2% ketoconazole for fungal issues and been using that thinking it might be just dandruff but it has had no effect on reducing the flaking/ itch from scalp , so that cant be the problem. Im confused.
Anyone have some input be much appreciated,
thanks

Alphamale500You seem to have a few different conditions going on of what can be causing your dry itchy skin and scalp. High DHT, fungal issues, and eczema can all be causing it, so it's kinda hard to pinpoint one specific cause.
There are a few supplements that may be able to help you such as;
-Biotin: which can help your hair and skin
-Saw Palmetto and Pygeum Combo, and hair conditioner made with Saw Palmetto: to help control DHT
-Nature's Bounty Moisture Treat, with Hyaluronic acid and vitamin E: helps treat your skin from the inside
-Omega 3 fatty acids: regulate oil production and help keep your skin moist
-CBD: can help control eczema
Good luck bro and I hope you can find some relief!
My own experience with dry scalp... I had such dry scalp it would make big cracks that would scab it hurt and sucked ass once i started taking finasteride it went away. Finasteride kills dht with a half life of 8 hours so i also started minoxidil with it my scalp has never been more healthy but I take that shit cause I'm a bald mother fucker but hopefully not forever only been 4 months but hey it works for me

have you encountered any sides from fin ? whats ur daily dose?
I take 1mg a day and I have no sides a lot of people say it will mess your dick up but I'm sure those were guys who were taking 5mg a day to try and make it work faster. 1mg a day works just as good as 5 would your only using it to kill of dht. I have a 1mg dropper and pull up to number 2 out of 10. I have 5mg per ml dose
Well the first thing I'd try to do is get Estro levels back up and DHT levels down. Get Estro levels back up by taking something like DBOL which aromatizes fast!
I could be wrong but since it's mainly on your scalp it sounds more like the DHT is aggravating the follicles. You can try topical solutions for your scalp. Oils, lotions etc.
Also, you have to look at your diet. Maybe adding a lil more fatty foods might help.
If all else fails; see a Dermatologist!
i actually did take 25mg dbol for 2 days last week, didnt really want to take anymore than that because of liver. i thought my estrodial would be up by now and dry skin would subside. but it was crashed at lvl 5. maybe it will take longer then i expected. i think im going to up my test dose to 600. it is winter time here and been cold but i never has any problems like this in the past. i been thinking about taking finasteride again to keep dht in range. but afraid that was the cause of drying out my skin. i googled it awhile ago and people said they had problems with dried out skin. i think i will wait and see if it gets any better so i can rule out if its the low estro thats caused it or something else.
RustyhookerJust curious here but dbol wont work in 2 days. Like 10mg a day for a week.
Curious part..... you got estro problems, skin problems, finasteride problems, liver problems, dhy problems......
You ever just think that maybe this just aint for you? Your taking a sinkful of chemicals that all react and your decision is now to up the test? All those chems are fighting bruh. Fina to halt dht so dht builds, crashed estro, bad hair, itchy,
JUST STOP
If i were to just stop id have way more problem then i do right now. i dont have liver problems, nor finasteride problems. I never had any problems like this from all my cycles in the past. i was going to up test to get my estro up faster , But i see your point. i have been thinking about possibly coming off after this cycle im on. Are you saying being on finasteride and then coming off it will rebound higher?
i was possibly thinking having crashed estro more test would be converted to DHT but i dont have the science to back that up if thats true or not.
RustyhookerId look at coming off if possible to get body back to level. Ive crashed e2 before and that dry itchy yuck...its miserable bro.
Finasteride has its own set of problems when cycling. In future id look more towards the shampoos. Or stick to gear with less conversion. If you keep the finasteride at least til body has used the excess test....might be doable.
On e2 raise...it can be a slow process to a degree. Tne at 50mg a day for bout 5 days should bump you up. Or the dbol at 10mg for a week. They convert but your body processes all this. When e2 is coming up my lips arent dry or chapped. Light normal feeling of oil to my forehead and joints feel great. Some dry cycles ive had to hit tne every couple days to GET e2 back up.
Oils as mentioned above to diet help skin too. Some folks add plop of olive oil to their salad, fish oils, etc. My water is from a well so chlorine constanly get on my nerves.
Any route though....might get back to normal. Replan and try in future. And it is true that from cycle to cycle your ai use can change. Certain combos can be really drying and you wont know til life sucks.
E2 as well being crashed for too ling is very damaging to connective tissues, heart and vascular system. Hardening of arteries hits men because we age and test drops....so does e2 with no test to convert.
thanks for the info, Im not using finasteride, i did try it for a few months awhile ago. I did notice my sex drive was down and that my skin was drier so i got off. i would like to not use it , maybe a hair transplant would be best bet if i got to that point because not sure if the potential sides of fin are worth it after hearing more horror stories from people. Have you done any research on saw palmetto at lowering dht? i did a while back and thought it wasn't very convincing. Dave Palumbo has a product he sells claiming it does lower dht thats mostly saw palmetto based.
my diet is spot on has been for years i follow pretty much a paleo diet.
So when u crashed ur e2 before how did you go about bringing back an ai. Im assuming wait until all low estro sides stop and once i feel good again. gradually put back my adex ?
RustyhookerI had used saw palmetto and posted the screenshot of my psa test. With it my number dropped nicely. As far as direct dht control, does your body just really convert at that high of a level? Possibly switch gear choices?
E2 i used tne 50mg a day and the e2 came back up in about a week. First thing i noticed was skin lightly oilly. You can run bloods at that point and see where your range is so you can read your body better. I ran a stack with mast provi and needed to lower the mast so that i wasnt too dry. I needed no ai on that run.
Hair...its a personal choice. Many just keep it short or shaved. Genetics is the real culprit there. Gear just boosted you along
