    TLDR Machine learning and deep learning can effectively diagnose alopecia areata.
    The document discusses the application of machine learning and deep learning strategies for diagnosing alopecia areata, a chronic hair loss condition. The authors note the rising global incidence of hair thinning in women and the genetic factors involved. They suggest using machine learning techniques, which have proven effective in various fields, including dermatology, for improved prediction and diagnosis of alopecia areata. The study uses deep learning algorithms to determine hair loss levels in men from facial images, using a specially created database of face photos with different baldness levels. The results show the potential and efficiency of these methods for medical, security, and business uses. The study's main goal is to assess the accuracy of these machine learning and deep learning strategies in identifying alopecia in humans.

      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.

      in Progress Pictures  83 upvotes 1 year ago
      A user's hair regrowth journey using biotin and minoxidil after initial treatments with Nizoral shampoo and Ketoconazole serum didn't work. The comments suggest the hair loss might not be male pattern baldness (MPB), but possibly Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder, and recommend getting a second opinion and considering other treatments like corticosteroids.

      Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition causing permanent hair loss and fibrosis, often misdiagnosed. Treatments include pioglitazone, topical corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and Jak inhibitors.

      community Rare Non responder to Finasteride, Dutasteride, and oral minoxidil

      in Minoxidil  78 upvotes 8 months ago
      A user did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss after four years of treatment and is considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP). Other users suggest the hair loss pattern may indicate alopecia areata and recommend seeing a dermatologist.
