The conversation discusses using olive oil, shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizer before applying minoxidil to combat the drying effects of alcohol in hair treatments. The user asks if facialmoisturizer like Cetaphil is safe for the scalp.
Minoxidil can cause facial side effects like puffiness and dryness, but using facialmoisturizers, cleansers, and drinking water can help improve skin appearance. Despite hair shedding and quality concerns, the user resumed Minoxidil while maintaining a skincare routine for better facial health.
Scalp hydration may influence hair growth by affecting the signaling pathways that control the hair growth cycle. Users suggest using facialmoisturizer, aloe vera, and oils for scalp hydration.
The user has been using dutasteride, lymecycline, betamethasone, and minoxidil for hair loss but struggles with eczema and dry skin. They feel hopeless as no treatments or moisturizers have helped, and they are concerned about their appearance due to their soft facial features.
Oral minoxidil can cause multiple facial hairs to grow from one follicle, known as Pili Multigemini, leading to ingrown hairs and zits. Users report increased facial and body hair growth, with some experiencing fewer issues after switching to dutasteride.
