No, the only topical I use is minoxidil. I never used any other topicals (unless you count ketoconazole shampoo, but I only leave that on for 15 minutes in the shower before rinsing) because as it is minoxidil leaves a lot of residue on my scalp. Just because of minoxidil alone I need to at a minimum shampoo my hair everyday, rinse and scrub my scalp thoroughly and use conditioner and once again scrumb and rinse thoroughly afterwards. And every other day I add ketoconazole shampoo into that which I have to keep on for 15 minutes.
My hair stack is
- minoxidil 5%
- dutasteride 0.5mg daily
- ketoconazole shampoo 2% every other day
- 100mg oral spironolactone daily
- microneedling 1.5mm once a week
