21 y/o. MPB. Having an itchy/burning scalp no matter what I do or try. Any advice please? Thanks. 9/30/2019
A 21-year-old experiencing itchy and burning scalp with hair loss was diagnosed with MPB and scalp inflammation. They were prescribed Ketoconazole, Prednisone, Clindamycin, and Finasteride, and are considering trying antihistamines, dietary changes, and "nopoo" to alleviate symptoms.

Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community I am losing hope and starting to think this is a scam
The user is frustrated with hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil, which have been ineffective and caused scalp itching. They are skeptical about these treatments' effectiveness and consider alternative options like ketoconazole shampoo and RU58841.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
community Calling out *diffuse thinners* here -- Have you ruled out other factors?
Diffuse hair loss is often linked to genetics but can also be due to health issues like thyroid problems and low vitamin or iron levels. Treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, with some seeing improvements after addressing health issues.
community What are your unpopular opinions on hair loss and its treatments?
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants are more accessible and effective now. Concerns about side effects and skepticism about new treatments like hair cloning and GT20029 remain.
