After quitting minoxidil 100 days ago, OP is experiencing significant hair shedding, which began a week after stopping and worsened in March. Suggestions include calming the scalp, ensuring adequate protein and iron intake, and consulting a doctor if shedding persists.
Hair loss treatments include Finasteride, Minoxidil, Ketoconazole shampoo, and Microneedling. Additional options are Dutasteride, oral Minoxidil, and hair transplants.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgen receptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.
