A user noticed irregularities on their scalp using a digital microscope and suspects scarring alopecia, despite using minoxidil and finasteride. Other users suggest seborrheic dermatitis as a possible cause and recommend treatments like ketoconazole shampoo, sulfur soap, selenium sulfide shampoo, and apple cider vinegar rinses.

The user is struggling with seborrheic dermatitis and plans to try ciclopirox olamine after finding ketoconazole too drying. They are also using finasteride daily.

Users suggest dietary changes, regular shampooing, and using antifungal products to control sebderm before considering minoxidil.

The user started using minoxidil foam daily after two years on finasteride and is managing seborrheic dermatitis with antifungal shampoo. They seek advice on moisturizing products that won't worsen their condition, with suggestions including gentle shampoos and light ceramide serums.

The user is seeking Malassezia-safe treatments for hair loss and currently uses a baby shampoo, a scalp tonic with antifungal ingredients, and aloe gel. They consider using Kirkland Minoxidil 5% drops and possibly consulting a doctor about Finasteride.
