    TLDR Minoxidil and tretinoin together may help hair growth but need more research.
    The document discussed the combined use of minoxidil and tretinoin for treating baldness. It referenced various studies and articles that explored the effects of these substances on hair growth. Minoxidil was noted for its ability to stimulate blood flow in the scalp and promote hair regrowth, while tretinoin was highlighted for its potential to enhance the effectiveness of minoxidil. The document also mentioned side effects such as contact dermatitis and scalp comedones associated with minoxidil use. Overall, the combination of minoxidil and tretinoin showed promise in promoting hair growth, but further research was needed to fully understand their efficacy and safety.
