    TLDR 15-lipoxygenase helps keep skin healthy by reducing inflammation.
    The study investigated the anti-inflammatory role of 15-lipoxygenase (Alox15) in maintaining skin integrity in mice. Knockout (KO) of Alox15 led to hair loss, disrupted skin structure, loss of hair follicle stem cells, and abnormal transition of dermal adipocytes into fibroblasts. Alox15 deficiency also increased proinflammatory macrophage infiltration and upregulated proinflammatory and necroptotic signaling in dermal adipose tissue. Lipidomic analysis showed a severe loss of resolvin D2 in Alox15 KO mice, and treatment with resolvin D2 reduced skin inflammation. The results indicated that Alox15-mediated production of resolvin D2 was essential for suppressing dermal inflammation and maintaining skin integrity.

      A user shared a 15-year experience using minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, stating that despite never missing a dose, their hairline continued to recede slowly. Other users suggested that the hair loss might be exacerbated by the use of steroids and recommended considering other treatments like dutasteride and RU58841.

      The user shared a 15-month hair loss treatment update using Dutasteride (0.5mg/day), Minoxidil (5% foam twice daily), Nizoral (1% every 3 days), and a 1.5mm derma roller (twice a month), along with a multivitamin, exercise, low sugar diet, hydration, and consistent sleep. They started seeing results after 6-9 months, with significant improvement at the 1-year mark, and apply Minoxidil the day after derma rolling.
