Treating Seborrheic Dermatitis, a fungal scalp condition which can cause hair loss. Treatments discussed include antifungal shampoos, cold showers, exfoliating the scalp, taking Vitamin D, and stimulating the prostate through the anus.
Hair loss possibly caused by a fungal infection might be treated with antifungal shampoos or oral medications. If not fungal, treatments like minoxidil or finasteride may be necessary.
Seborrheic dermatitis can cause hair loss, and treatments like ketoconazole shampoo, topical steroids, and oralantifungals may help. Some consider using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss despite dermatitis.
Minoxidil is causing severe scalp irritation, including itchiness and dryness, for the user. Alternatives suggested include anti-fungal treatments, propylene-glycol-free formulations, and possibly oral minoxidil.
Ketoconazole 2% shampoo stopped a user's severe hair shedding after just two uses, a result not achieved by finasteride or oral minoxidil. Some users suggest the shampoo's anti-androgenic properties may help with hair loss, while others think the shedding might have stopped naturally or due to the end of a shedding phase.
