Hi!
I just want to share my experience with topical pumpkin seed oil.
It's very mesy.
My first week with topical pumpkin seed oil felt just as when I took finasteride for the first time.

Strong increase in libido
My scalp itch resolved
Dry eyes
Little tired

I eventually developed stronger reaction to it after using it everyday for a week.
After a week:
Joint stifness
Very tired
And little (negative) cognitive effect
Constipation (also with finasteride/dutasteride)
My general well being down

I believe I am very sensitive to 5-alpha reducton inhibitors, and I wonder if maybe my body develop an allergic/immune-systemic reaction soon enough to the substance that is inhibiting it. I am very uncertain that the symptoms come from dht-reduction.

I believe pumpkin seed oil can work efficiently topically and strongly hypothesize that it has dht reducing effect. People that dont take finasteride or cant take finasteride should def try this. I cant tolerate it though.

Lmfao, if that was true there wouldn't be hairloss here in Austria. Some part of our land uses pumpkin seed oil on a daily basis (salad, ice cream, scrambled eggs etc.)

I call bs
