      The conversation discusses whether it's better to start hair loss treatment with finasteride or dutasteride.

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 2 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
