The user reports using finasteride, topical minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and a dermaroller for hair loss. They notice more hair growth, but doubt full regrowth on the crown.

A user is considering switching from oral minoxidil to a combination of 5% topical minoxidil and tretinoin to reduce hypertrichosis. They hope this combination will be effective without causing excessive body hair growth.

A 32-year-old male used 1.25mg oral finasteride daily and 1ml topical minoxidil twice daily for 24 weeks, experiencing improved skin and hair growth with initial side effects that resolved after three weeks. He plans to try dermastamping to address a stubborn cowlick area.

The user switched from finasteride and topical minoxidil to oral dutasteride and minoxidil, with plans to add RU58841, to improve hair growth and address a stubborn bald spot. Despite initial shedding, the user noticed thicker, darker hair and plans to continue the treatment or consider a hair transplant.

The conversation humorously discusses the exaggerated effects of taking a 500mg pill of dutasteride, with users joking about extreme side effects like excessive hair growth and loss of sensation. It also mentions personal experiences with finasteride and the potential high bioavailability of dutasteride in liquid form.

The user tried finasteride for a year without success, then switched to dutasteride and oral minoxidil for 10 months, still experiencing hair loss. Adding RU58841 and topical minoxidil seemed to improve their condition, with new hair growth observed.

Oral minoxidil is claimed to be more effective and easier to use than topical minoxidil, with a 100% response rate, but it may cause unwanted body hair growth and has potential heart-related side effects. Topical minoxidil is less effective for many due to enzyme limitations, can cause scalp issues, and is more challenging to apply, but it avoids systemic side effects.

The post discusses a user's 6-month progress using topical finasteride (0.08%) and minoxidil (5%) once a day, combined with scalp micropigmentation (SMP). The user hopes for improved hair growth as they let their hair grow out.

The user "OP" uses a combination of topical minoxidil 5%, finasteride 0.025%, and caffeine to combat hair loss, with noticeable results over 5-6 months. Side effects include unwanted body hair growth and an itchy scalp, but no significant sexual side effects.

The conversation is about finding the best topical caffeine and melatonin products to use with minoxidil, and possibly adding essential oils. The user seeks recommendations for effective combinations to enhance hair growth.
