Do shampoos with tea tree oil in them help treat the hair loss conditions LPP and FFA?

pclarktorApr 5, 2018
Do shampoos with tea tree oil in them help soothe the itchiness from LPP? Do tea tree oil shampoos help calm the inflammation from LPP & FFA? Or could these shampoos further irritate these hair loss conditions? Are they safe to try? Thank you for your help.

The best way is to stop the use of Minoxidil. After stopping use you will return to the way you were before starting.

Initially, 2% Minoxidil was the only strength for women.  It's use was twice daily.   Now the 5% strength is FDA approved for women, but only once daily. If you are having good results there is no need to change.

Like many medications, topical finasteride is available with a prescription from a physician. Your physician will review your story, examine your scalp up close and determine if you are an appropriate candidate for this medication or not.
