Evaluation of Methotrexate-Loaded Surfactants, Ceramides, and Cholesterol-Based Lamellar Phases as a Topical Treatment for Psoriasis

The conversation discusses a topical finasteride therapy with hydrocortisone butyrate, estrone base, and breviline. A user suggests oral finasteride as a superior option.

The conversation discusses using estradiol mesotherapy to replicate hormone replacement therapy results while minimizing systemic exposure. It also covers the use of Spironolactone cream, which reportedly has no systemic side effects, and the potential risks of using bicalutamide and Spironolactone in men.

The conversation is about a product called Serioxyl, which was expected to contain stemoxydine. It clarifies that Diethyl lutidinate is another name for stemoxydine.

The user is experiencing diffuse thinning and receded hairline, using dutasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole without regrowth, and was prescribed clobetasol propionate 0.05% with salicylic acid for possible inflammation. Other users caution against using the strong steroid without a serious condition, sharing experiences of adverse effects and alternative treatments for scalp issues.

Stemoxydine's effects on hair growth are uncertain and not well-studied, with users reporting mixed results and concerns about maintaining gains. Some users combine it with 5AR inhibitors like Dutasteride, but results vary, and conditions like lichen planopilaris complicate treatment.

Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
