    A 3-year-old Beetal doe with severe pruritus and skin lesions was diagnosed with concurrent psoroptic mange and malasseziosis. The diagnosis was based on the presence of Psoroptes mites and Malassezia organisms in skin scrapings and smears. Treatment included Ivermectin, oxytetracycline, chlorpheniramine, multivitamins, and topical applications, leading to significant improvement and new hair growth after 4 weeks. The study emphasizes the importance of awareness and resources for timely diagnosis and treatment in rural areas.

      . ummwhatsure: No it doesn't. I started losing my hair around 27/28. This user has had great success with a combination of finasteride and Minoxidil, taking 1 milligram of finasteride per day and applying Minoxidil twice daily for 4 years, starting when they were 31. They experienced some shedding in the first two years, but now have thicker, fuller hair than before.

      The user is experiencing diffuse hair thinning despite using finasteride and oral minoxidil, with no hairline recession or bald spots. Suggestions include checking for telogen effluvium, considering a JAK inhibitor for potential autoimmune issues, and conducting further tests to rule out other causes.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
