Mixing RU58841 with cetosomal minoxidil is discussed due to scalp irritation from ethanol PG vehicles. A mixture of the two turned bright pink when left to dry.
RU58841 is discussed as a treatment that stops scalp itching when used with finasteride or dutasteride. The user is considering trying RU58841 due to persistent itching despite using the "big 3" treatments.
User tried dutasteride, topical finasteride, oral minox, dermawounding, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, and ketacozonole for hair loss. Improvement was temporary, now trying RU58841 and seeking help.
The user is using a hair loss treatment regimen that includes RU58841, minoxidil mixed with finasteride, adenosine, dermarolling with lidocaine cream, and biotin. They are questioning if they are dermarolling too aggressively and are willing to accept baldness if no improvement is seen in 6 months.
Gut microbiome imbalances can cause scalp inflammation and affect hair follicles, potentially leading to hair loss. Treatments include finasteride, peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.
RU58841 stopped scalp itching for the user, providing relief from persistent itchiness associated with hair loss. Some users reported side effects like chest pain, while others found relief with different treatments like mometasone.
Microneedling can cause infections if not done carefully; users suggest using alcohol swabs and reducing needle depth to avoid issues. Proper sanitation and gentle pressure are key to preventing bleeding and infection.
The conversation discusses the potential of using topical estrogen treatments for hair loss without systemic absorption, highlighting challenges and possible solutions like using estriol. It also mentions other treatments like topical finasteride, microneedling, and scalp massage, while noting the limitations and side effects of current options.
A user shared their hair regrowth success using microneedling with a dermaroller every 6 days and minoxidil, recommending betadine (povidone-iodine) before microneedling to sterilize the scalp and enhance results. Another user noted the potential risks of iodine toxicity.
The user experienced microinflammation on the crown after using mometasone furoate (Nasonex) nasal spray. They are seeking information on the relationship between this corticosteroid and hair loss.
An 18-year-old is seeking advice on microneedling while using RU58841 for hair loss. Recommendations include using a derma pen with 0.5mm needles every two weeks and avoiding RU application for 24 hours post-microneedling to prevent absorption into the bloodstream.
Treating Seborrheic Dermatitis, a fungal scalp condition which can cause hair loss. Treatments discussed include antifungal shampoos, cold showers, exfoliating the scalp, taking Vitamin D, and stimulating the prostate through the anus.
The conversation is about the best vehicle for RU58841, comparing trichosol and Garnier/Vichy Stemoxydine, avoiding propylene glycol (PG) or ethanol due to previous scalp damage. The user is also seeking sources for these products in the EU.
A 34-year-old male is experiencing hair loss on the sides of his head, with inflammation and itchiness, while the top remains thick. He is using topical dutasteride and keto shampoo to address the issue.
The user started balding at 16/17 and tried various treatments including minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride with little success. They recently started applying diclofenac gel to their bald areas and noticed some hair regrowth, attributing this to diclofenac's ability to lower prolactin levels and its anti-inflammatory effects.
The conversation discusses concerns about microneedling potentially causing damage before a hair transplant, with users sharing their experiences and techniques. Specific treatments mentioned include using a dermapen at various depths and speeds, with some users advising against self-treatment.
A 16-year-old is experiencing hair loss and is using minoxidil, finasteride, and plans to add RU58841, while considering other treatments like MK-677 and microneedling. Concerns are raised about the potential impact of these treatments on puberty and development.
Increased scalp itching during shedding phases while on finasteride treatment may coincide with hair regrowth and recovery. This suggests that itching might not always indicate continued hair loss and could encourage persistence with the treatment.
Fluridil may decrease the number of androgen receptors in hair follicles by up to 95%. This suggests a different action mechanism from other non-steroidal antiandrogens like RU58841, indicating they might be used together.
The user experienced red pimples and a rash from using topical minoxidil, possibly due to propylene glycol. Suggestions included seeing a dermatologist, switching to foam without propylene glycol, using Nizoral, and adjusting application timing.
Switching from 2% liquid minoxidil to 5% foam minoxidil reduced scalp irritation but increased eyebrow flakiness and thinning. The user speculates that propylene glycol in the liquid formulation might have been protecting against seborrheic dermatitis while causing contact dermatitis.
A user is experiencing rapid hair loss and has been diagnosed with telogen effluvium by multiple dermatologists, but doubts the diagnosis due to the severity and speed of the hair loss. They are considering various treatments like spironolactone, estradiol, and possibly finasteride, while also exploring the possibility of hormonal imbalances or autoimmune issues.
The conversation discusses the potential for Verteporfin to reduce scarring, making hairline lowering surgeries more viable for men with mild hair loss. The user suggests that if scarring can be minimized, men might opt for hairline lowering instead of using grafts for other areas.
The user is experiencing scalp irritation from using tretinoin and alcohol-based hair loss treatments like stemoxydine. They find that Aquaphor helps with the pain but is difficult to apply in hairy areas.
The user is seeking alternatives to propylene glycol and glycerin for mixing with RU58841 due to allergies and greasiness. Suggestions include reducing glycerin and considering stemoxydine as a solvent.
A user experienced severe scalp itching with MPB and found Nizoral ineffective. A doctor diagnosed seborrheic eczema and prescribed Betacap, which relieved the itching.
The conversation discusses concerns about the potential risk of cancer from creating new hair follicles through microneedling, due to stem cell division. Specific treatments mentioned include microneedling, caffeine-containing anti-hair loss shampoos, and other unspecified topicals.
The user is experiencing severe hair loss, possibly due to telogen effluvium, after stress, poor nutrition, and hormonal changes. They are using Nizoral and supplements but are considering hormonal treatments like spironolactone despite previous side effects.
RU58841 worsened hair condition, causing thinning and unusual patterns. The user stopped using it two months ago but hasn't seen recovery, and there's speculation about androgen receptor upregulation.
The user experienced significant hair loss after extended fasting, initially thought to be Telogen Effluvium, but later suspected male pattern baldness. They tried finasteride briefly but stopped due to concerns about side effects, and are unsure if the hair loss is due to Telogen Effluvium or another cause.
