community Reasons why Topical worked but Oral Minoxidil didn’t?
Some people find topical minoxidil effective for hair loss, but oral minoxidil doesn't work for them, possibly due to absorption issues. Others have had better results with oral minoxidil, suggesting individual responses vary.
community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
