    TLDR The piglets fully recovered from psoroptic mange after treatment.
    A case of psoroptic mange in 90-day-old Large White Yorkshire piglets was reported at the Instructional Livestock Farm Complex in Hyderabad. The piglets exhibited symptoms such as severe skin rubbing, erythematous lesions, hair loss, and weakness. Diagnosis was confirmed through skin scrapings that revealed the presence of psoroptic mites. The piglets were treated with Ivermectin, cefpodoxime, chlorpheniramine, povidone iodine, and Ascabiol lotion. Following treatment, the piglets fully recovered, and subsequent skin examinations showed no presence of mites or eggs, indicating the treatment was effective.

      . ummwhatsure: No it doesn't. I started losing my hair around 27/28. This user has had great success with a combination of finasteride and Minoxidil, taking 1 milligram of finasteride per day and applying Minoxidil twice daily for 4 years, starting when they were 31. They experienced some shedding in the first two years, but now have thicker, fuller hair than before.

      The user is experiencing diffuse hair thinning despite using finasteride and oral minoxidil, with no hairline recession or bald spots. Suggestions include checking for telogen effluvium, considering a JAK inhibitor for potential autoimmune issues, and conducting further tests to rule out other causes.

      community What else is good. Besides the big 3.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
