If diclofenac helped you I think you should try seti

I should yes. Maybe when it's reasonably priced and source is 100% legit. So basically when it's officially released for either asthma or Androgenetic Alopecia. But this definitely could be the missing link in my case.

Neither finasteride, dutasteride or nizoral has done much to eliminate the itch/inflammation. Two things worked for me. Topical corticosteroids, completely eliminated the itch but destroys your skin with long term use. Topical Voltaren/Diclofenac also helped a lot.
My wife has sebborheic dermatitis and she uses Mometasone furoate .1 solution and it is helping me out

Won’t you be bald by then lol

Thanks to the poison I've been eating and putting on my head for around 16 years (started balding at 17 and I'm 40 now) I've managed to slow it down enough to only achieve between lvl 2 and 3 on the FML aka norwood scale. So still hoping for something to stop it completely not just slow it down 80%.

I had itch so bad, I wanted to take a fork to my scalp and just scrape. It's been well over a decade since Ive experienced that itch, but the memory is still there.

I used finasteride for 7 years with 95% improvement, but once I stopped, I started zix, which has been a godsend. I didnt care if zix was working, it simply removed the itch and shedding went from 100+ hairs in the shower to around 10. 14 years later, I still have most of my hair. I posted a section on Zix - in the alternative treatments section. It costs about $1.50/month to buy and mix the vitamins yourself.

How’s your hair? Think you got reflex Hyperandrogenism from duta?
My itch has gone down to almost nothing and I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a hair in my hands....knock on wood. The thing is, I’m trying so many things, it’s hard to tell which thing may be working. I’ve also slowed my dutasteride use to every other day.

Saw palmetto, dutasteride eod now, finastrride 2.5 everyday, fenugreek, oral castor oil 2ml a day, flaxseed oil, fish oil, cod liver oil, topical spironolactone, was taking 50 mg oral but stopped a few days ago, copper peptide once or twice a week, oral cetrizine, I’ve put liquid cetrizine in my shampoo, keto 1 and 2 percent a few times a week leaving it on for 29 mins a time, dermarolling once a week with a 1.5, and hair max laser brush three times a week, and pumpkin seed oil. I’m sure I’m missing one or two in there.

How’re things going dude? I tried seti which helped but it got my sick I think....

I bit the bullet and started propecia/rogaine which has helped with the itch quite a bit actually. I’m also doing hydrocortisone 1% everyone other days with topical cetirizine. My scalp is now in a livable state and I’m really happy...

Soak your head in nizoral 2% make sure you really massage it in well then leave in for 30 minutes minimum and rinse.

My wife is prescribed mometesone furiote for her seriasis and it has alleviated about 90 percent of it, so it’s livable too now

Scalp massages actually completely eliminated the itch for me, zinc pyrithione and Nizoral seemed to have a moderate impact but the itch was still there. Even without using Nizoral I was able to completely eliminate the scalp itch via scalp massages.

Been so long since I posted and I know you guys miss me! Awwww shucks my dudesss

Anyways. Saw this question and, as I’ve recently had success with peppermint oil, I figured I’d throw it out there (sorry if someone already did). Literally just take 100% therapeutic grade peppermint oil, pour a little bit out, do the same with water, and use a swab or a dropper to apply to the scalp. Smells good and it seems to make hair livelier the next day and staves off the itch for quite a bit. Can use a dropper and tilt the bowl or cup or whatever and try to stir the ‘solution’ with the dropper so you get water and oil more deliberately as they’ll seperate, plus a dropper gets straight to the scalp. I just hang over the sink and apply it all over. Feels f*****g awesome and just about completely inhibits the itch. You’ll wanna try not to get any on your hands, or in your eye (or take a shower and touch your genitalia with it on your hand) as that can be a bit uncomfortable.

Pretty lazy way to go about doing things, but if you want specifically to do away with the itch, you’ll do exactly that. Not to mention it smells super nice and it doesn’t f*** with your hormones or blood pressure and whatnot. Bye my dudes.

What is the ration of the oil to water? If the water doesn't mix in then what is the purpose? Thanks man

It’s weird, one week it’s good and then the next it’s unbearable. I’m just tinkering with my meds when I have a bad week to see what’s the best route. I had to come home early from work tonight it was so bad and last week I felt good. I’m switching my dutasteride usage to see what effects it has and I think when I eat soy products that’s makes it worse, and I had another prp treatment last Monday. I hate that some days I feel like I’ve beat it and then the next day I feel like it’s killing me

Can you give me your zix formula?
