A user is concerned about a change in the formula of Sons topical treatment, which now requires fewer sprays but contains less minoxidil. They question if the change is for convenience or if it's a way to charge the same for less product.
Nizoral shampoo reduced shedding but caused hair dryness. Alternatives like non-SLS ketoconazole shampoos, such as Regenpure DR, are recommended for use 2-3 times a week to avoid dryness.
An 18-year-old male experienced positive results with oral finasteride but stopped due to side effects and is now trying homemade low-dose (0.01%) topical finasteride mixed with liquid minoxidil to manage hair loss. He seeks feedback on the effectiveness of this DIY topical treatment.
The conversation discusses using homemade topical finasteride for hair loss, showing an increase in DHT levels despite treatment. The user applies 0.125mg daily, resulting in 113.4% of previous DHT levels.
The conversation discusses using 0.1% Alfatradiol compounded by a pharmacy for hair loss treatment. It also mentions Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 as other treatments.
A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.
The user has been on finasteride for 5 months and noticed their hair becoming wispy/frizzy, suspecting minoxidil might have also contributed to the change. They are distressed by the change in their hair's appearance.
