      A user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, including RU58841, ketoconazole shampoo, caffeine shampoo, and topical finasteride. They found RU58841 effective for diffuse thinning but experienced severe hair loss after stopping it; topical finasteride worked well for a receding hairline but caused side effects. They also use a charcoal shampoo and practice scalp massages.
