    TLDR Watercress oil helps heal skin burns in rabbits.
    This study investigated the effects of watercress oil on skin burns in 24 male rabbits, divided into groups with burns induced by hydrochloric acid or a hot glass rod. Treatments included Baneocin, watercress oil, and a combination of watercress and Nigella sativa oils. Watercress oil demonstrated antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting epithelialization and improving wound contraction and closure time compared to controls. However, the combination of watercress and Nigella sativa oils did not enhance healing. The study concluded that watercress oil could effectively aid in healing skin burns in rabbits.

      The user experienced hair thinning despite using finasteride and switched to a ketoconazole shampoo without sulfates to address scalp itching and dandruff. They hope this will stop further hair thinning.

      A user is seeing good results with RU58841 for hair loss, noting reduced shedding and thicker hair. They plan to use pumpkin seed oil as a solvent to avoid water content, which they believe reduces the effectiveness of anti-androgens.

      Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.

      community Opinions on this study for Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer

      The user shared their 5-year hair loss journey, initially using a product called Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer, which gave good results. Later, they switched to FDA-approved medications finasteride and minoxidil, which also helped, but they noticed the most significant progress with Triphasic. They're considering trying it again if minoxidil doesn't show improvements.
