Treatment of Hirsutism With Cimetidine: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

The user applies a topical solution containing minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, retinoic acid, and hydrocortisone to address scalp inflammation and is considering adding cetirizine to the mix. They are calculating the correct amount of cetirizine to add to their formula and have paused this approach to retry oral minoxidil.

The conversation discusses using Cetirizine oral solution topically on the scalp to alleviate burning sensations caused by minoxidil. The user is curious about others' experiences with this method, while others suggest that only finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair growth.

Cetirizine 1% cream significantly improves hair growth and thickness in men with androgenic alopecia. It is considered effective, affordable, and has a low side effect profile.

Pyrilutamide's effect on sebum production and scalp inflammation is unclear, with users noting no significant changes. Isotretinoin is mentioned as effective for reducing sebum, while Dutasteride and various shampoos have limited impact on oiliness and seborrheic dermatitis.

Bicalutamide is discussed as a treatment for hair loss, particularly in females, with some users cautioning against its use due to potential side effects. The conversation also mentions using finasteride and other anti-androgens, with some users recommending more traditional treatments like dutasteride.

HMI 115 is being discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with skepticism due to past disappointments like cosmeRNA, brezula, and pyrilutamide. The user is questioning if they should be hopeful for new developments in the next six years.
