      A 28-year-old started using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss and is frustrated by insensitive comments from others about his balding, which is a sensitive topic for him. People, including a girl he's seeing, have made hurtful remarks, and the conversation includes discussions on societal double standards and advice to ignore such comments and focus on self-improvement.

      Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness for those not responding to minoxidil alone, but it could reduce efficacy for some who are already responding to minoxidil. Tretinoin requires careful use, including skin moisturizing and sun protection due to increased sensitivity.

      in Research/Science  32 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to differences in sulfotransferase enzyme levels in the scalp, affecting people with conditions like ASD, liver disease, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments like topical tretinoin, microneedling, and using minoxidil sulfate instead of regular minoxidil can improve results for those with low enzyme levels.
