5 / 1000+ resultscommunity The "DHT" itch myth - it's more complicated
A user found that scalp itch might be linked to inflammation rather than DHT alone and noticed hair improvement with certain cancer drugs. They also discovered that black seed oil relieved their scalp itch and are experimenting with a mix of essential oils for dry scalp, questioning if oils affect minoxidil absorption.
community Progress pictures - Minoxidil 5%
A user shared their experience with Minoxidil 5%, reporting hair regrowth during use but significant hair loss after stopping. They resumed treatment and regained hair, noting that discontinuation leads to rapid hair loss and that scalp dryness was managed with oil.
community Theoretically won't this be better than finasteride? Azelaic acid + zinc
The conversation discusses using zinc sulphate and azelaic acid to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity, which could potentially treat androgen-related skin conditions like hair loss. Combining these with vitamin B6 could enhance the effect, potentially offering an alternative to finasteride.
community 3 Months – Fin/Min Micro dosing, micro needling and massaging
User reports hair loss improvement with twice-weekly 0.25mg Fin, twice-weekly Min, weekly 0.5mm microneedling, and daily massages. Unconventional regimen contradicts typical advice but may reduce side effects.
community Can we have a thread that summarizes all treatments options in addition to the big 3 which we have some evidence for, their mechanism of action and whether they can be combined with the big 3(other than dermarolling)?
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known three, focusing on separating effective treatments from myths. Dutasteride and low-dose oral Minoxidil are mentioned as having clinical evidence for increasing hair counts, but with potential side effects.
