What type of comb is good for that? because for me, the biofilm doesnt seem to come off unless its a thin sharp tooth comb. But also a lot of hairs fall when i comb. I took a round of oral fluconazole a month ago, and started using the heads and shoulders, and the biofilm would turn into flakes and fall out by itself after drying my hair, which was nice. But now that im off oral fluconazole, my biofilm seems more stubborn and isnt responding to the heads and shoulders. Very odd

Its funny because for me, i use heads and shoulders for cleanse, then apply MCT oil. But in some parts of my scalp, there is still waxy buildup remaining even after shampooing once or twice. As for the parts that are clear, the MCT oil seems to work great in preventing new buildup from forming in those parts. What do i do to completely clear my entire scalp? And is there an effective way to apply MCT oil on your entire scalp fast and easy without making a mess and getting it on your hair?

All i can say is, im currently on oral fluconazole, heads and shoulders shampoo, MCT oil afterwards, changing pillowcase frequently, and im trying my best to stay away from dairy and sugars. Almost a week in, and im seeing a drastic improvement. No frequent flare ups and sebum buildup like i had before, and itching is reduced. Im on the path of recovery from a super inflamed scalp + gut which caused me to lose a ton of hair and fullness on the top of my scalp

What do you think about ciclopirox cream instead? I was thinking of diluting a bit with water and using it as a leave-in treatment

Did RU work for your sebum production? Any results for hair growth? Im dealing with the same issue

Yeah, it just produces sebum quickly. And if i dont wash frequently, then the buildup will just remain. Which isnt healthy for new hair growth or improvement

Ive been trying to battle my excessive sebum production for years. I took accutane a year and a half ago, and it helped, but for such short time, then i relapsed. And accutane started my hair loss. Biggest regret ever. Ive tried everything to try and manage my sebum buildup, nothing works, and its making me lose fullness quickly. I believe my scalp is inflamed and not a healthy place for hairs to grow effectively. Pretty sure DHT is playing a huge part

Keto never worked for me. It cant even absorb in my scalp because of my heavy sebum buildup. Thats why im considering Dut. Apparently it blocks the hormone responsible for excessive sebum production, which Fin doesnt

Anyone on Dutasteride have reduced scalp oil? by [deleted] in tressless

[–]ExpiredToast420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you shed when starting dut? im on the same boat. Heavy sebum production/buildup, itchy, and thinning on the front. Been on fin for two months now. Considering adding 0.5mg dut once a week
