      User's hair loss treatment progress includes 1 mg finasteride, 2.5 mg minoxidil tablets twice daily, microneedling 3 times a week, and Fungoral shampoo twice weekly. Good progress and minimal side effects reported.

      The user stopped taking oral finasteride due to depression and now uses a topical finasteride/minoxidil mix with some scalp irritation. They plan to start derma stamping and have seen some improvement in their hair over three years, which others have noticed and encouraged them to continue their efforts.

      Switching from minoxidil with propylene glycol to a glycerin-based solution helped reduce scalp buildup and dandruff. Using ketoconazole shampoo and a scalp massager also improved scalp health.

      Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
