    Image of study
    TLDR Low testosterone levels may contribute to female pattern hair loss in men.
    The document reports on a retrospective analysis of 55 patients with alopecia areata who were treated with contact immunotherapy using 2,3-diphenylcyclopropenone (DCP) at a university teaching hospital. The study found that DCP is an effective treatment option for hair growth in both adult and pediatric patients. The document also discusses a study on testosterone deficiency in men with female pattern hair loss, which suggests that low testosterone levels may be a contributing factor. However, larger studies are needed to confirm these findings. The document also briefly mentions cases of pili multigemini and lipoedematous scalp alopecia.
