HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
Finasteride stopped scalp itching and improved hair health, likely due to reduced DHT. Users discussed the relationship between DHT, itching, and hair loss, with some mentioning minoxidil and antifungal treatments like ketoconazole.
Stopping minoxidil causes significant hair loss, as continued use is necessary for maintaining gains. Combining minoxidil with finasteride may help maintain hair, but both treatments are typically lifelong commitments.
The conclusion of the conversation is that oral minoxidil has been effective in saving and restoring hair, but it may have diminishing returns as you age. It is suggested to consider using finasteride in addition to minoxidil for better results.
