Skin Self-Photography for Dysplastic Nevus Monitoring Is Associated with a Decrease in the Number of Biopsies at Follow-Up: A Retrospective Analytical Study

A dermatologist is developing a device to standardize hair progress photos for those using finasteride and minoxidil, aiming to provide consistent data on hair status. Users express skepticism about its practicality and cost, suggesting it might be more suitable for clinics than consumers.

A hair restoration case involved injecting four different doses of Verteporfin into the mid scalp and using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) around the extraction areas. Photos were taken and an update will be shared soon.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) was used to camouflage a scalp scar, addressing challenges like skin texture and ink retention. The process included initial assessment, procedure, and final blending with surrounding hair.

The conversation is about a user sharing their positive experience with Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) for hair loss, highlighting the natural look achieved by a specialized artist. The procedure cost $2600 and was done by Alex Corona in Panama City Beach, FL.

A user noticed irregularities on their scalp using a digital microscope and suspects scarring alopecia, despite using minoxidil and finasteride. Other users suggest seborrheic dermatitis as a possible cause and recommend treatments like ketoconazole shampoo, sulfur soap, selenium sulfide shampoo, and apple cider vinegar rinses.

The conversation discusses using USB microscopes for scalp photos and provides a link to an overview of trichoscopy. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
