I stopped after 6 months and only use it occasionally now. I wasn't using anything else like minoxidil so it didn't really do much but perhaps a slight improvement. I am getting a chemist to formulate a 5% minoxidil 0.05% estriol mixture and will suppliment with a weekly dose of bi-estriol. I...

6 months. I've still got a couple of bottles somewhere.

Yeah it did nothing for regrowth but I wasn't really expecting it to.

I am the same 5 months on bi-estro & dutasteride nothing to show but it does ease the itch.

Ring worm will eat your follicles permently so it's better you get it treated asap. If you can't get to a doctor go to the chemist as they can normally give out the cream version. Ket won't cure it.

Terbinafine cream or tablets.

You have ringworm fungal infections go see a doctor immediately.

I accidentally cured my scalp issues while looking for regrowth. Basically keto cream applied 2 X per week left on over night for the first month then bi-estro cream once a day or whenever it gets itchy. Bi-estro is cheap and lasts for months also I only use mild baby shampoos. I didn't get...

You know hair transplant surgeons can do wonders these days with body hair & beard hair transplants. I'm jealous, I wish I had enough to transplant.

I think if you're hair loss is recent and your under 30 then HRT may or may not regrow your hair but oral minoxidil definitely will what ever your age.

Yes agreed. I think oral minoxidil is the only thing that will cause significant regrowth. AAs & Estrogen may cease further progression and even slightly reverse hair loss in younger people but your likely only able to maintain with AAs & Estrogen alone.

My body is essentially hairless apart from pubes as armpits and I struggle to grow any kind of a beard so that theory doesn't really apply to all. I've been balding since my late 20s and while I broadly agree that hairy men generally have more DHT it does not follow that their scalp hair is...

It's a blood pressure drug so the dose you take is important and you need to give your body time to adjust. Most people who go straight on 2.5-5mg does will generally get palpation & mild edema. Any more than 5mg in my opinion is dangerous.

You have to be careful with oral minoxidil, it's better to start with a low dose 0.5-1mg then work your way up to 2.5mg over a couple of months.

I would imagine E2 estrogen would be a good candidate for cyclo especially if you could get higher doses. Your scalp would think it's female but you wouldn't get the tits. The only skin side would be getting to look younger.
