5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How essential is scalp biopsy when dealing with hair loss?
The user experienced hair loss despite using Fin and Min for 12 years and switched to Dutasteride, RU58841, and Keto scalp serum, but shedding and itch persist. They are considering increasing Dutasteride to 2.5mg and questioning the necessity of a scalp biopsy, with mixed opinions on its usefulness.
community Sebum on scalp has reduced, what gives ?
The reduction in scalp oiliness is likely due to finasteride reducing DHT levels and the use of ketoconazole shampoo. The combination of these treatments may have decreased sebum production.
community 1% keto shampoo, 5% minox foam, and the ordinary multi peptide hair serum. Is this better than nothing?
The user is using 1% ketoconazole shampoo, 5% minoxidil foam, and a multi-peptide hair serum to address hair loss, aiming to improve from Norwood 5 to Norwood 3. They are considering adding topical finasteride if current treatments show progress and plan to use cosmetic products like fibers and DermMatch for appearance enhancement.
community Keto shampoo and its impact on dht levels?
Ketoconazole shampoo does not significantly reduce systemic or scalp DHT levels and is considered a mild topical antiandrogen. Users discuss its use for scalp health rather than DHT reduction, with some preferring alternatives like dutasteride over finasteride due to perceived side effects.
community Does Pyrilutamide lowers sebum production?
Pyrilutamide's effect on sebum production and scalp inflammation is unclear, with users noting no significant changes. Isotretinoin is mentioned as effective for reducing sebum, while Dutasteride and various shampoos have limited impact on oiliness and seborrheic dermatitis.
