community Why don't the Nizoral manufacturers promote their product for MPB?

in Ketoconazole 11 upvotes 4 years ago

Ketoconazole is somewhat effective for male pattern baldness (MPB), but the manufacturer promotes it for dandruff instead, possibly because the dandruff market is larger and to avoid confusion among dandruff sufferers without hair loss.

community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss

52 upvotes 2 years ago

Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.

learn Centella

Ever wonder why your hair doesn’t grow back thick anymore? Maybe your scalp needs better blood flow: centella could help. There is no clinical trial of centella asiatica for hair loss and no study measuring scalp blood flow in people using it; the only hair-related evidence is a 2017 cell-culture study. Centella products are cosmetics that may soothe an irritated scalp, and the link between scalp circulation and pattern hair loss is itself unproven.
