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.
