A user is experiencing significant hair loss and scalp issues despite using Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 since 2017. They switched to oral Minoxidil and are now on isotretinoin and topical corticosteroids for seborrheic dermatitis but continue to lose hair and seek advice on whether inflammation or treatment changes are the cause.
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.
Hair loss from seborrheic dermatitis can be temporary. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, along with collagen and biotin supplements.
