Can Minoxidil be used in people with atopic dermatitis, or are there better drugs for androgenetic alopecia in people with AD?

Lesions, e.g. caused by AD, occurring on the scalp are a contraindication to the use of Minoxidil. In the case of irritations occurring on the scalp, do not use any rubs and lotions, they can further exacerbate the changes. In such a situation, oral preparations containing saw palmetto extract, amino acid complex and omega-3 acids can be used. I enclose a few examples of preparations with these substances: Karabione booster - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/93889/kerabione-booster-kapsulki/apteki Kerabione - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/39968/kerabione-kapsulki/apteki Skrzypo Vita men - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/109002/skrzypovita-men-tabletki-powlekane/apteki Treatment of androgenetic alopecia is also based on the use of prescription substances. Taking such a course of treatment should be discussed with your doctor. I enclose information about the possibility of using teleconsultation, if the need arises: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja If atopic lesions do not occur on the scalp, the use of Minoxidil is not contraindicated.
