Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hairloss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
Mesotherapy Dutasteride is considered highly effective for reducing scalp DHT and potentially reversing hairloss. However, one user reported systemic side effects and no improvement in hairloss.
Oral dutasteride (0.5mg) is most effective for male hairloss, followed by oral finasteride (5mg), oral minoxidil (5mg), and oral finasteride (1mg). Different treatments have benefits and side effects, and results don't apply to women's hairloss.
Topical roflumilast is effective for reducing inflammation in various scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema, but not proven to stop scarring alopecia. Alternatives like apremilast and Vtama are also discussed for their anti-inflammatory benefits.
Ashwagandha may help with hairloss by regulating thyroid function and reducing stress, but its effectiveness compared to finasteride or minoxidil is debated. Some users report positive effects on hair health, while others are skeptical of its benefits.
