A woman with AGA and CTE has been taking multiple hair loss treatments including spironolactone, dutasteride, finasteride, bicalutamide, birth control, and minoxidil without success. Steroidinjections, however, dramatically and immediately stopped her hair loss, though the effect lasts less than a month.
People discussed using vitamin D supplements for hair loss, with some also using steroidinjections, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, and zinc. Despite supplementation, one user noted no improvement in hair condition, but acknowledged the general health benefits of addressing vitamin D deficiency.
After experiencing hair loss due to alopecia areata following COVID-19 vaccination and infection, the individual saw improvement with steroid treatments and Olumiant. They paused Olumiant during a second COVID-19 infection and expressed concern about potential hair loss flare-ups.
A male in his early 20s with CCCA (scarring alopecia) started treatment with Finasteride, Fluocinolone, and Doxycycline. Steroidinjections were suggested but not yet done.
The user experienced significant hair loss after stopping a treatment of 5% Minoxidil and 0.1% Finasteride, which they had used from December 2021 to January 2024. They resumed the treatment in April 2025, hoping for regrowth, and are considering additional treatments like transplants and steroidinjections.
