doctor do you think pentoxifylline could be usefull for lpp or ffa? i saw you reviewed a study where it ws used alongside nac and clobetasol but i was wondering if on it's own it could help a bit since its supposed to be an antifibrotic med and antiinflammatory . and i have a technical question but do you believe for male lpp or ffa do dht and androgen actually plays a role? and would inhibiting dht or going on a more drastic hrt regimen where androgen are totally inhibited and augmenting oestrogen drastically could help with the inflammation ( knowing dht is pro inflammatory ).thanks for your work
Pentoxyfylline has not been well studied. i would guess it might be better than useless, yes, but I don’t see it as revolutionary. That said, that’s my opinion in the face of poor evidence. As far as question 2, yes, dutasteride is the most effective treatment for FFA. Nothing is more effective. as far as LPP goes, it has less benefit (except in clear cut cases of FAPD).
