Well these shampoos are for inflammation mainly, but yes piroctone olamine is proven to have the same effect as ketoconazole on hair loss. Dutasteride twice a month is less effective than finasteride but it works fine for me with the benefit of being more gentle. Actually my main concern right...

Google "hair cycles". Hair in telogen phase remains on the scalp for 2-3 months before falling, that's why people usually see the first results of a treatment at the 3 month mark. It's all in your head if you think drinking milk in the morning makes you lose more hair throughout the day.

The first one 6 times a day for two weeks (it's something like Rifampicin). Minocycline I have to take once a day for six months, and repeat treatment if necessary. There should be improvement after a few weeks, fingers crossed.

Folliculitis decalvans, he prescribed an antibiotic called Minocycline and another one which I don't remember now. It looked like basic diffuse thinning with inflammation so it was hard to diagnose. I also use a sulfate-free shampoo which really helps with inflammation : I alternate between...

Any inflammation/itch/discomfort ? Get an appointment with a dermatologist specialized in hair loss and scalp diseases. Your hair does look thin, and although it may be male pattern baldness, it's better to be sure. I was diagnosed with a rare scalp disease a week ago by a specialist, that my previous...

About the inflammation, I've started using a sulfate-free shampoo with piroctone olamine, which has had a magical effect on it. No itch, compared to any other anti-dandruff or anti-itching shampoo it's a total bliss. So, I can't really say, with or without seti I'm good. I use 400mg eod...

Nothing new, really, same amount of hair. I've been taking it for 3 months now (first 200mg/day, now 400mg eod), but I also take 0.5mg of dutasteride every two weeks, which is a low dose, but not homeopatic either. I started treatment with dutasteride in August 2014 and my hair has thickened a bit...

Not potent enough.

Put the powder in a small bowl, weigh 100mg or any other dose, put it in a capsule. Now that you know how much you have to fill your caps, open them one by one and put the same amount of powder in each of them by putting the open caps in the bowl with your -previously washed- hands. If you...

Wait. If it works, more and more people will want it and the price will gradually go down.

No. It's not candy, take it only if you need it, and right now anyway it doesn't seem like you do. Why the hell are you shaving your widow's peak ?

I wouldn't, and I think most people wouldn't, which is kind of the point of seti imo.

Seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, folliculitis, folliculitis decalvans and scalp diseases in general can cause hair loss even on people who aren't prone to male pattern baldness. Well it doesn't mean you can't have male pattern baldness too, see a dermatologist. If the diagnostic isn't certain, ask for a scalp biopsy.

Taking 1mg/eod or 0.5mg/ed won't make any difference. One dose of 0.2mg of finasteride lowers 80% as much DHT as one dose of 1mg. This is based on a normal body mass, we're not all made the same way. If I weigh 230 pounds and I take 0.2mg of finasteride, it may not have much effect. DHT starts to...

Don't hesitate to take 5 days or a week off the drug if you think it's causing side effects, it will hardly damage your hair and you can see for yourself if they're caused by finasteride or not. DHT levels won't rise for three days after a 1mg intake so you'll have to wait more than that...
