learn Overview

learn Hydrocortisone

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.

learn Vitamin B1

Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.

learn vitamin A

Are you unknowingly overdoing vitamin A? It could be speeding up hair loss linked to hormones like DHT. Sustained vitamin A intake above the tolerable upper limit (3,000 mcg/day of retinol for adults) is linked in case reports to diffuse hair shedding; the claim that it amplifies DHT-driven hair loss has no published human evidence behind it.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation
