What topical treatment is used to help hair growth?

  1. Minoxidil

  2. Folliculitus barbae

  3. Ringworm

  4. Shampoo

The correct answer is: Minoxidil

Minoxidil is the correct answer because it is a topical treatment commonly used to promote hair growth. Minoxidil is a medication that is applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and encourage hair growth in individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning. Options B, C, and D (Folliculitus barbae, Ringworm, Shampoo) are not topical treatments specifically designed to aid in hair growth. Folliculitus barbae and Ringworm are actually scalp conditions that may lead to hair loss if left untreated, and shampoo is a general hair cleansing product that does not have properties to stimulate hair growth like Minoxidil does.
