5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Determinants of hair cortisol and hair cortisone concentrations in adults
This study observed that hair cortisol and cortisone concentrations were higher in older individuals and those with diabetes mellitus, highlighting their potential significance for assessing somatic health.
research The impact of COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on chronic stress assessed by hair cortisol analysis via LC-MS/MS
This study found that cortisol levels, a biomarker of chronic stress, significantly increased in the post-COVID-19 lockdown period compared to pre-lockdown and during-lockdown periods, especially among females and young adults, reflecting sustained psychological stress from the pandemic.
research Curvilinear association between loneliness and hair cortisol concentrations in community-dwelling older adults at elevated cardiovascular risk
In this study, researchers observed a curvilinear relationship between loneliness and hair cortisol concentration among older adults at elevated cardiovascular risk, with cortisol levels higher at low-to-moderate loneliness and lower at higher loneliness, though results were sensitive to some data exclusions.
research LC-MS/MS-based reference intervals for hair cortisol in healthy children
This study established age-adjusted reference intervals for hair cortisol in children from birth to 18 years, finding higher cortisol levels in infants possibly linked to slower hair growth.

7 / 801 results- Can hydrocortisone be used together with other treatments like minoxidil or steroid injections? Clinicians do use a mild steroid cream to settle the scalp irritation minoxidil can cause, but no verified trial tests hydrocortisone added to minoxidil or to corticosteroid injections, and prolonged scalp use risks skin thinning — combining it is a decision to take with a prescriber.
- What are the risks of long-term hydrocortisone use on the scalp? Dermatology reviews describe long-term topical corticosteroid use as causing skin thinning, delayed healing, greater infection risk, possible suppression of the body's own cortisol, and rebound flares on stopping — and over-the-counter hydrocortisone labels limit use to about a week without a doctor's direction.
- How do you safely apply hydrocortisone cream or lotion to the scalp without overusing it? The over-the-counter hydrocortisone label sets the limits: a thin film on the affected patch, no more than three or four times a day, and no longer than seven days without a doctor's direction — and the scalp absorbs corticosteroids more than most skin, so prolonged use raises the risk of thinning skin.
- Can a liquid formula with Procapil do more than your usual multivitamin? Procapil is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss drug: the published studies on it are small and test it in combination with caffeine or platelet-rich plasma, so none isolates its own effect, and the percentages quoted in marketing come from the ingredient supplier's unpublished studies. Vitamins are reported to help hair only where there is a deficiency, so the two are aimed at different problems rather than ranked against each other.
- Is Fluocinolone a treatment for hair loss itself or just for calming scalp irritation? Fluocinolone acetonide is a prescription corticosteroid approved for inflammatory skin conditions, not for hair loss; no published human trial has measured hair regrowth with it, so at most it may help indirectly by calming an inflamed scalp.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 8 months of therapies, finasteride, minoxidil and more
The user experienced significant hair regrowth over 8 months using finasteride, minoxidil, and a custom topical mix including progesterone, cortisone, and alpha 5 estradiol. They reported no side effects and noticed improvement around the third month.
community Question for all the good Minoxidil responders
The user discusses their experience with minoxidil for hair loss, noting that drinking coffee may reduce its effectiveness. They observed better results with the liquid solution and no coffee compared to using the foam solution and drinking coffee.
community Minoxidil aint shit, genetics are dumb, i dont want to be bald
Minoxidil alone is not effective for significant hair regrowth; combining it with finasteride or dutasteride is necessary. Additional treatments like hair transplants, microneedling, or oral medications are recommended for better results.
community Suddenly developed rash after 3-years Kirkland minoxidil Foam use. Changed ingredients?
A user developed a rash after 3 years of using Kirkland minoxidil foam, possibly due to a change in ingredients. They are considering switching to Foligain or Rogaine foam to avoid further issues.
