ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the effect of hair care products containing zinc pyrithione, pollen extract, sachitin and other ingredients assisted with finasteride in the treatment of androgenic alopecia.Methods:From June 2018 to February 2019, 60 male androgen alopecia patients aged 18-40 (30.85±4.73) years were enrolled in this study. 30 cases in each group were treated for 180 days, and finasteride 1 mg/day was taken orally in both groups. In the experimental group, on the basis of finasteride, hair care products containing zinc pyrithione, pollen extract, sachitin and other ingredients were used, while the control group was treated with common care products. The improvement of scalp and hair and the satisfaction of patients were evaluated before and after treatment.Results:After 180 days of treatment, the improvement of scalp oil ( t=2.744, P<0.05), pruritus ( t=2.574, P<0.05), dandruff ( t=2.579, P<0.05) and general sense of use ( t=2.134, P<0.05) in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group ( t=2.077, P<0.05). The hair density of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The patients＇ satisfaction rates in the experimental group and the control group were 96.67% (29/30) and 83.33% (25/30), respectively; there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). No adverse reactions were found in all patients. Conclusions:Hair care products containing zinc pyrithione, pollen extract, sachitin and other ingredients assisted with finasteride can improve the scalp oil, pruritus and dandruff of patients with androgenic alopecia, and can increase the curative effect of the treatment of alopecia of the patients.
