Hair loss and its potential treatments, such as minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, and supplements. It discusses whether miniaturized follicles can be revived to grow again or must shed for new growth to appear.
A 14 year old who is experiencing hair loss and has not received any help from the doctor, with advice being given to try different doctors, gettested for underlying conditions and intolerances, buzz it short as an option and treatments that could slow down or reverse the hair loss such as minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841 and addressing the cause of the hair loss.
Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
