A user experienced an allergic reaction, including swollen lymph nodes, to Minoxidil 5% with an aqueous base. Switching to a non-alcohol-based Minoxidil (Prolox 5%) resolved the allergies.
community After quitting min and fin I asked AI on how fix the mess I am in and it says:
Prolonged use of topical minoxidil and finasteride can lead to neuroendocrine and autonomic dysfunction, causing severe sensitivity and side effects. Recovery involves avoiding these treatments, supporting neurosteroid recovery, calming the sympathetic system, and rebuilding scalp health naturally.
community Can valisone solution cause hairloss?
A user is concerned that prolonged use of valisone (betamethasone) and clotrimazole solution for scalp dermatitis may be causing hair thinning and loss. They noticed thinning in the area where the solution was applied.
community Why don't Minoxidil regenerated hairs become terminal on the head?
Minoxidil helps hair growth by increasing blood flow and prolonging the growth phase, but it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, such as DHT sensitivity. Finasteride can help maintain some gains by blocking DHT, but stopping Minoxidil often leads to hair loss because the new hairs are dependent on it.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
