community Who won’t respond to minoxidil? (Studies)

33 upvotes 6 months ago

Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to differences in sulfotransferase enzyme levels in the scalp, affecting people with conditions like ASD, liver disease, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments like topical tretinoin, microneedling, and using minoxidil sulfate instead of regular minoxidil can improve results for those with low enzyme levels.

community My boyfriend’s scalp has white spots all over.

78 upvotes 1 year ago

White spots on a bald scalp, likely tinea versicolor, can be treated with ketoconazole or selenium sulfide shampoos like Selsun Blue. Consulting a dermatologist is recommended for proper diagnosis and treatment.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

63 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL

413 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

community DHT Itch and Oily Scalp Explained (and how to fix it)

90 upvotes 3 months ago

Malassezia overgrowth can worsen oily scalp and inflammation, contributing to hair loss. Treatments include antifungal shampoos, C6/C8 MCT oil, low-dose isotretinoin, finasteride, and dutasteride.
