      A 30-year-old male with thinning hair and an itchy, oily scalp found that hydrocortisone cream eliminated dandruff and itching and seemed to thicken his hair. He avoided minoxidil and finasteride due to potential side effects and noted that Nizoral and Head & Shoulders worsened his symptoms.

      in Minoxidil  1 upvotes 1 year ago
      Hydrocortisone is not recommended for long-term use on the scalp due to potential side effects like thinning and steroid-related issues. Alternatives like foam minoxidil or oral minoxidil are suggested, though foam may be less effective.
