Yeah, I think I would ride it out another couple of months and see what transpires. If you're still experiencing sheds or noticing a deterioration of your condition, I would seriously think about dropping the keto shampoo you are currently using. But if the scalp feels good, then I'd bet you'll...

The 2x a week just isn't enough to aid in your mission. You're basically throwing your money away unless you can apply it more consistently. The biotin shampoo, although maybe not harming your hair, almost certainly is doing very little (or nothing) to help you either. So right now you are...

Sorry you are having issues. None of us are all knowing experts on here, so I'll give the best opinion I can. Firstly, at your age you are less likely to respond as you did before, so status quo or "holding on" is actually a goal. If you can just keep what you have, then it's Mission...

I totally understand the reluctance to return to finasteride. I gave it up for good when I was 29 and have never looked back. I wouldn't be so quick to go directly to hair transplantation. I'd try other options first and stick with it. See what minoxidil can do for you, but apply it...

Did you only begin to notice the shedding after the introduction of Keto? How were things going the 8 months prior with finasteride and minoxidil?

Are you not on Propecia any longer? How long have you been using Rogaine foam? Seen any results thus far?

Why are you using high strength minoxidil? Are you not having success with lower level solutions? I second the advice regarding staying hydrated. Drink plenty of water, eat lots of healthy fats from seeds, nuts, avocado, fish, olive oil, etc., and perhaps think about adding some copper peptides...

I would agree with you. Stay away from anything that is causing those sorts of systemic issues. The smoking and anxiety surely aren't helping either. I tried to focus on my overall health, hoping it would positively impact my hair. I believe that it has. My scalp health and overall inflammation...

It may or may not matter which minoxidil solution you use. I honestly couldn't say. I use the propylene glycol free solutions because it's best for my scalp. I loved Xandrox but that went away (it contained AA). There are solutions that contain caffeine and/or DHT inhibitors, and they've also...

That seems like a lot of sides. I am not doubting you, but are you sure all of this was the result of minoxidil use? If so, it's probably best to stay away from it. How much were you using daily? You could try cutting it in half. I only use roughly .35 - .5 mil per day and it seems to do the...

Sides vary and sometimes come and go, but for me, there were times my penis basically felt numb or disconnected from my body. It's difficult to explain to those who haven't experienced it. Sometimes erections were impossible, at least to have a sexual encounter, or erections were simply not very...

No problem, man. We all have to help each other out whenever possible. You are very serious about your battle and willing to take steps I'm not sure I would have, but I can totally understand it. I've been waging the battle for many years now, so I've mellowed a bit over time regarding what I'm...

There are minoxidil solutions you could use that should work pretty well for you, assuming you don't get the scalp irritation. Using it isn't all that difficult once you get the hang of it, and you probably only have to use it once per day. You can find solutions without propylene glycol which...

Have you tried copper peptides? I know every person and therefor head/scalp is different, and we will have to tailor any regimen to fit our needs. I am mostly a vegetarian myself (except fish oil and fish occasionally). I'm sure you get enough healthy fats in your diet via nuts, seeds, avocado...

I really think you should stay on this for 9 months to see if the shedding and other irritations cease. I know that is easier said than done when you're the one dealing with the shedding. Perhaps try cutting back on the laser therapy? I have only used my laser comb 2-3 times a week (usually...
