Hi Celia16 Thanks for the list of options! I noticed the conclusion of the blog noted that: Ketoconazole shampoo has positive and can have negative effects for your hair condition. It is a good remedy against hair loss, but other ingredients that are almost the same as ketoconazole such as piroctone olamine can also help you with your hair loss or scalp condition. For thicker hair and more growing hairs, piroctone has proven to be more effective than ketoconazole. Both sound great but what do you think about the Piroctone olamine shampoo? On the topic of red light therapy, do you see any baby hair growing? Thanks again!

@tillymack , I’m interested in that solution if it’s a better option to the shampoo. I’ll try it. That shampoo really does make it seem thicker though. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my hair! But, I work hard styling and using products. If the other solution is better, I wonder why she didn’t prescribe it.
I have a back story with this medication I used it in the form of a body wash in August 2023. I won’t insert what happened here, but it caused me a taste issue for a long time. I think. I can’t be certain what caused it. Around the same time I got taste, smell disorder, hair loss, muscle issues, tingling, etc.

Yes! I do have new hair growth around my face, ears, temples! I’m excited! But, I’m also only a few months on the autoimmune med Hydroxychloroquine. My inflammation seems to be way down. So, I have a lot going on….
