The user is experiencing scalp irritation from using tretinoin and alcohol-based hair loss treatments like stemoxydine. They find that Aquaphor helps with the pain but is difficult to apply in hairy areas.

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.

The conversation discusses adding Nizoral (Ketoconazole shampoo) and castor oil to a hair loss regimen. Users suggest trying Nizoral due to its potential benefits and low cost.

The user shared a 4-month update on their hair regrowth journey using finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling, reporting significant progress and styling ability. They emphasized persistence, shared their regimen details, and addressed side effects like weaker erections and blurry vision, which improved with lifestyle changes.

Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
