Hot weather can increase hair shedding, possibly due to dehydration and active sebaceousglands. Using shampoos with salicylic acid or zinc pyrithione may help; daily anti-inflammatory use is not recommended.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceousglands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
A user shared their initial experiences with The Ordinary hair density serum, which contains Redensyl (taxifolin). They observed increased hair volume but also developed pimples, likely due to the serum stimulating sebaceousglands.
Finasteride, a hair loss treatment, was observed to reduce scalp oiliness in users. Anti-androgens like Finasteride are known to decrease the activity of oil-producing glands.
The post and conversation discuss the link between DHT (a hormone), scalp itchiness, and hair loss. Some users share their experiences and treatments, including the use of fluconazole, corticosteroids, and ketoconazole shampoo, with one user suspecting minoxidil as a potential cause of their symptoms.
