A user's experience using dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, vitamin D, scalp massage, exercise, and avoiding vaping and 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner to treat hair loss; they also discussed the side effects of finasteride.
community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss
Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
community 8-MONTH PROGRESS ON KIRKLAND MINOXIDIL FOAM AND MONTH 4 OF FINASTERIDE 1 MG
.
This user has been using Kirkland Minoxidil foam and 1 mg finasteride for 8 months, as well as a diet change, regular exercise, and daily biotin and Animal Pak supplements to treat their hair loss. So far they have not experienced any side effects from the finasteride.
community Random thought that I don't think I have seen here yet. If Verteporfin is able to stop scar formation successfully in humans to a large degree (assuming future studies show this), wouldn't this basically open up the door for it being a no brainer for strong NW2s and 3s to opt for hairline lowering?
The conversation discusses the potential for Verteporfin to reduce scarring, making hairline lowering surgeries more viable for men with mild hair loss. The user suggests that if scarring can be minimized, men might opt for hairline lowering instead of using grafts for other areas.
community The other day I had a random discussion about not eating the livers of predators like polar bears because you can get vitamin A poisoning, my nurse roommate looked up symptoms and found telogen effluvium was one of them...
A user experienced hair thinning possibly due to excess vitamin A from taking extra gummy vitamins. They stopped taking the vitamins and are seeking advice on hair regrowth and managing vitamin A levels.
