The conversation discusses the differences between PG/Ethanol and KB solutions for RU58841 application, focusing on potential scalp irritation. KB solution is suggested for those allergic to PG, though both contain ethanol which can dry the scalp.
Clascoterone is being discussed for hair loss, but its current acne formulation may not be suitable for scalp use due to potential skin irritation and lower dosage compared to Breezula. Users mention other treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and pyrilutamide, with some expressing skepticism about clascoterone's effectiveness for hair loss.
Breezula® (Clascoterone) showed promising results in a Phase 2 trial for treating hair loss, being as effective as Propecia with no serious side effects. It might be released between 2021-2022, and a related acne treatment with the same active ingredient could be used in the meantime.
