Sebum and anti dandruff shampoos may slow or stop baldness?

[robodoc]

I do not have any guarantees or medical studies regarding sebum build up and baldness. I will put this to all as perhaps a testimonial.

Before I started losing my hair I had heavy dandruff. I washed my hair and it appeared gone. Last April I developed seborrhoreic dermatitis. My hair was falling out in clumps.
I went to the dermatologist who prescribed Selenium Sulfide Shampoo 2.5%, Ketoconazole 2% shampoo and a topical steroid Clobetasol 0.05% Scalp Lotion.

Since then I have used the shampoos regularly (at least 3 times a week) and even DHS Zinc 2%. So what I found out after 3 months is my hair has totally stopped, albeit 3 hairs a day. There is a yeast or mold in cases of seborrheic dermatitis. I put this theory out and that is that the anti dandruff shampoos remove dandruff, sebum and keep the scalp free from yeast disease that......is not readily obvious to the eye. You can't see the scalp infestion of yeast but sometimes symptoms. I believe that along with Clobetasol and antidandruff shampoos my baldness has stopped or been sharply reduced.

I noticed about ten years ago I was using an anti dandruff shampoo OTC (sulphur 2% and Salicylic Acid 2% non prescription called Sebex) that my hair fall out wss less but did not think that shampoo was connected. I have used finasteride and minoxidil 5% for years. I will contiinue to use anti dandruff shampoos and Clobetasol, 3 times a week as long as I see benefit. I want to add have you seen a shiny bald head? I believe excess sebum contributes to baldness and treating the sebum as mentioned may work for others. The key for me is to leave the shampoos on the scalp for at least 15 minutes. I do not know the exact relationship between sebum and DHT but surmise there is one and somewhat negated with the aforementioned topical treatments.
