The Clinical Features and Outcomes of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Aging Patients

The conversation discusses using oral Minoxidil, a vasodilator, for both Raynaud's Syndrome and hair loss. It also inquires about other hair loss treatments that improve blood flow.

A user experienced a painful rash from both liquid and foam minoxidil, suggesting an allergy to minoxidil itself. They are seeking others with similar experiences.

Topical minoxidil with tretinoin is causing redness, stinging, and flaking on the scalp. Reducing application frequency and using anti-dandruff shampoo may help alleviate symptoms over time.

The user experienced red pimples and a rash from using topical minoxidil, possibly due to propylene glycol. Suggestions included seeing a dermatologist, switching to foam without propylene glycol, using Nizoral, and adjusting application timing.

The user is allergic to minoxidil and experienced severe itching and redness. They are considering alternatives like finasteride, dutasteride, and dermarolling for hair loss treatment.

A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
