Hair loss in a 3-year-old, with various treatments discussed such as minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841 and biotin supplementation. Some people suggested shaving the head and growing a beard or getting a partial hairpiece instead of attempting to treat it.
community Don't know how but this is an accurate depiction
The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, including topical finasteride, oral dutasteride, topical minoxidil, RU58841, peppermint oil, and microneedling. It also mentions lifestyle changes like converting to Islam and avoiding smoking, drinking, and partying.
community Shouldn’t it be impossible for dutasteride to make hair loss worse?
Dutasteride is unlikely to worsen hair loss; shedding is often temporary. Other factors like inconsistent use, placebo effect, or additional treatments may influence perceived results.
community Don't discount diet for the sake of scalp health. Meds had no effect for 2+ years. 3.5 months since new diet / Shampoo routine.
Diet and specific shampoo improved scalp health and hair regrowth for someone with seborrheic dermatitis, while medications like Minoxidil and finasteride had no effect. A low-sugar, keto diet was key to their success.
