Immunotherapy helped a 5-year-old boy regrow hair and prevent seasonal alopecia areata.
A 22-year-old is experiencing hair loss, particularly fuzzy hair in the front, and is concerned about male pattern baldness. Treatments mentioned include Propecia (finasteride), minoxidil, PRP treatments, dermarolling, peppermint oil, and apple cider vinegar.
OP is experiencing ongoing hairshedding despite two years on finasteride, with some initial improvement but no long-term success. Users suggest seasonalshedding, checking for vitamin deficiencies, considering minoxidil, and possibly switching to dutasteride.
The user experiences significant hairshedding during seasonal changes while using oral minoxidil 2.5mg and finasteride 1mg daily. They question if shedding miniaturized hairs is normal or if a stronger treatment is needed.
Oral supplementation of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) improves hair quality and appearance in middle-aged women. However, it may reduce total hair density, possibly due to seasonalshedding.
Hot weather can increase hairshedding, possibly due to dehydration and active sebaceous glands. Using shampoos with salicylic acid or zinc pyrithione may help; daily anti-inflammatory use is not recommended.
