A 33-year-old attempted hair regrowth after 10 years of baldness using topical finasteride, minoxidil, micro-needling, a laser cap, and later oral dutasteride. They noticed some regrowth, especially vellus hairs, and are considering a hair transplant or other treatments despite side effects.
Iron supplementation may be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Checking ferritin levels is important, as both low and high levels can affect health.
Diet can influence hair health, but male pattern baldness (MPB) is primarily genetic. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Vitamin D supplementation can aid hair regrowth for some, but results differ. Combining vitamin D with finasteride and minoxidil often improves hair thickness, though not for everyone.
A 27-year-old male with ADHD is experiencing hair thinning and is starting a treatment with topical finasteride (0.025%) and minoxidil (5%). He is addressing high prolactin levels and low vitamin D, while managing side effects from ADHD medication.
