Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
Finasteride, a hair loss and prostate drug, may also benefit heart health. Some users discuss the potential negative effects of DHT on the heart and the balance between hair loss treatments and heart health.
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
A user shared their successful hair regrowth using a combination of minoxidil, caffeine, biotin, and RU58841, along with weekly dermarolling. However, others advised against the user's plan to switch to rosemary oil and microneedling only, emphasizing the importance of continuing the current treatment to maintain the results.
