Ketoconazole 2% shampoo stopped a user's severe hair shedding after just two uses, a result not achieved by finasteride or oral minoxidil. Some users suggest the shampoo's anti-androgenic properties may help with hairloss, while others think the shedding might have stopped naturally or due to the end of a shedding phase.
The user experiencing diffuse hairloss is using various treatments including RU58841, finasteride, minoxidil with tretinoin, anti-hairlossshampoo, and microneedling, and is considering adding peptides TB500, BPC157, and GHK-Cu. They have low growth hormone levels and are questioning its impact on hairloss, while another user suggests androgenic alopecia and androgens are likely the main cause of hairloss.
The conversation discusses concerns about the potential risk of cancer from creating new hair follicles through microneedling, due to stem cell division. Specific treatments mentioned include microneedling, caffeine-containing anti-hairlossshampoos, and other unspecified topicals.
The conversation is about hairloss and treatments, with suggestions to use finasteride or dutasteride as DHT blockers and minoxidil for regrowth. Oils and shampoos are considered ineffective for androgenic alopecia without these medications.
A user shared a 2-month progress picture showing improvement in hairloss using minoxidil, a derma roller, ketoconazole shampoo, and oils. They also discussed the psychological aspect of believing in the treatment's effectiveness and mentioned not using finasteride.
