Efficacy Observation on Mild to Moderate Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Treated with Compound Zishenqing Formula

The user is experimenting with a zinc sulfate and B6 topical solution called "Zix" for hair loss, alongside using a zinc oxide scalp mask and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). They report minimal hair loss after three months of use and are seeking feedback from others who have tried similar treatments.

The user is taking 0.5mg finasteride and 0.5mg Loniten orally daily, using Eucapil twice weekly, and Minoxidil foam once daily for hair loss. They believe Eucapil effectively stops hair loss despite side effects like breast growth.

Adding non-prescription topicals like alfatradiol and Zix to a standard fin/min/niz regimen may help with scalp inflammation and shedding, but their long-term effectiveness varies. Zix is recommended for reducing scalp inflammation and enhancing the effectiveness of other treatments.

The conversation discusses using zinc sulphate and azelaic acid to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity, which could potentially treat androgen-related skin conditions like hair loss. Combining these with vitamin B6 could enhance the effect, potentially offering an alternative to finasteride.

RU58841 helped reduce scalp itching for some users within a week, while others experienced immediate relief. Some users reported initial irritation from the solution, possibly due to the carrier used.

The user tried pyrilutamide for hair loss and noticed reduced scalp itch and improved skin but stopped due to mild heart sensations. They plan to update after consistent use, noting improved sleep when applied at night.
