A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalpsebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
Hair loss can begin in early adolescence and cause mental anguish. Treatments mentioned include eating cruciferous vegetables, engaging in physical activity, and maintaining scalp hygiene.
A user is testing clascoterone (Winlevi) on their scalp for hair loss and has noticed a reduction in scalpsebum after one month. They are also using other unspecified treatments and plan to provide an update after the second month.
Dutasteride 1.5 mg stopped shedding and reduced scalp inflammation in one month, unlike finasteride. The user also uses minoxidil but saw no results until adding dutasteride.
Using liposomal solutions with dutasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin worsened hair loss due to buildup and scalp issues. Consulting a professional and returning to simpler treatments like finasteride and minoxidil improved the situation.
