      DutchFella1993 has been using a lotion with finasteride and minoxidil for hair regrowth with some success and is considering using ketoconazole shampoo daily to reduce scalp itchiness. There's concern about the harshness of daily shampooing and twice-daily lotion application, and one reply suggests that daily use of ketoconazole may damage hair and questions its effectiveness, while also noting that once-daily minoxidil application is sufficient.

      A user reported better hair regrowth with 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride than with finasteride and topical minoxidil, calling topical minoxidil a scam. Replies varied, with some defending topical minoxidil, questioning the user's application method, and suggesting that previous treatments might be contributing to the observed results.
