Regular Member Spiritmale Posted June 6, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Hi gang. Hope that everyone is good. I am 50 year old, chasing Norwood V. I am taking Rogaine, but am unfortunately having side effects (scalp inflammation, itchiness). I was wondering if anyone has found anything else that works? For example, the product Biogaine from Hairguard is being touted as effective but there is not any reliable reviews/ feedback online (that I can find). The Company seems credible - they have a lot of solutions and don’t seem to be a scam. Look forward to hearing responses from the community here. Much thanks !

Grant have you tried the foam without PG (Propylene glycol)? PG was irritating to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Nw7HPE Posted June 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 6, 2022 The minoxidil foam usually doesn't cause any issues . I heard good things(albeit rare) about Latanoprost too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE TRUTH Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Technically speaking the best growth agonist for human scalp hair is oral estrogen followed by cyclosporine (much stronger than any kind of minoxidil no matter if 15% concentration, compounded with tretinoin or oral version) but these 2 are not considered viable options. Alfatradiol Clascoterone Bimatoprost Latanoprost RU58841 Fluridil (topical topilutamide) Topical estrogen Topical spironolactone Pirylutamide (in the future maybe) Stemoxydine Topical dutasteride/finasteride Mesotherapy with Dutasteride Microneedling These are some of the growth stimulants and topical anti androgens that have at least some evidence to back up their efficacy. Some are certainly stronger than others but keep in mind none of them is a substitute for oral 5AR inhibitors such as Finasteride/Dutasteride. Especially not long term and if your hairloss is agressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
