After experiencing hair loss due to alopecia areata following COVID-19 vaccination and infection, the individual saw improvement with steroidtreatments and Olumiant. They paused Olumiant during a second COVID-19 infection and expressed concern about potential hair loss flare-ups.
A user shared a 6-month progress picture showing improvement in hair loss using biotin and minoxidil. They also mentioned dealing with stress, diet issues, and seborrheic dermatitis.
A woman with AGA and CTE has been taking multiple hair loss treatments including spironolactone, dutasteride, finasteride, bicalutamide, birth control, and minoxidil without success. Steroid injections, however, dramatically and immediately stopped her hair loss, though the effect lasts less than a month.
The user asks if finasteride can be used with the topical steroid betamethasone dipropionate to reduce hair loss and scalp inflammation. The discussion revolves around combining these treatments for better results.
The conversation is about a person experiencing hair loss from steroid use, considering treatments like RU58841, dutasteride, and Nizoral, while avoiding finasteride and Minoxidil due to concerns about hormones and hypertension. The consensus suggests using dutasteride or finasteride, as Nizoral alone is not effective.
