28 days s/p FUE. Dry scalp w/ Minoxidil use, Preworkout use and LLLT therapy (Photo)

Question

30 YOM day 28 s/p FUE currently taking Propecia, Minoxidil and Biotin. Dry scalp remedy after Minoxidil use recs, is it okay to use baby oil? Is it okay to use Creatine containing Preworkout (C4 Ultimate) or will it halt hair growth? Using baby shampoo now but whats best to use for long term hair growth, read online ones that have caffeine or DHT blocking agents? LLLT (iRestore) recs post FUE since most studies are on LLLT use in ppl who haven't had FUE. Thanks in advance for your help.

Medications such a Propecia or Rogaine can help and for some people it may delay the balding for many years. Surgery also helps but it is just rearranging what you already have. Scalp MicroPigmentation also helps but that is not real hair. The point is that every option has its limitations. Oils, potions, shampoos, lasers, PRP, etc will not cure genetic balding.

Yes, you can use baby oil on your head and scalp. With regard to Creatin, you have to be absolutely sure that there are no steroids in this powder. The Laser cap has marginal benefits
