Minoxidil and caffeine may interact, affecting hair growth results. Users shared mixed experiences, with some noticing improvements without caffeine and others still seeing results despite coffee consumption.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community 4 months Oral Minoxidil 1.25 mg Daily (33 M)
This user, "ediblediety", has been taking oral minoxidil (1.25 mg daily), keto shampoo and occasional derm-rolling for 4 months to treat their hair loss, and they have experienced a shedding phase after the first few weeks of use. They report improvements in the thickness of their facial and body hair, but note that this may be daunting to women.
community Sunlight: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth or Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
