community Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone
Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
community 42 male - 8 months (Is this the biological limit?)
A 42-year-old male has reached a plateau in hair regrowth after 8 months using Dutasteride, Minoxidil, a dermaroller, and Ketoconazole. Suggestions include continuing treatment, considering a hair transplant, and improving nutrition.
