GlossaryMicroorganism

tiny living entity visible only under a microscope

A microorganism, also known as a microbe, is a tiny living organism that can only be seen with a microscope. These include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Microorganisms play crucial roles in various biological processes, such as decomposition, fermentation, and even human health, where they can be both beneficial (like gut bacteria) and harmful (like pathogens causing diseases).

community Is ketoconazole shampoo bullshit?

in Ketoconazole 45 upvotes 11 months ago

The conversation is about the effectiveness of ketoconazole shampoo for hair loss. The conclusion is that ketoconazole shampoo can help with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, but it is not a strong enough treatment to stop or regrow hair. It is recommended to use it as an adjunct treatment along with finasteride or dutasteride.
