    July 2021 in “ British Journal of Dermatology ”
    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.

      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.

      A 30-year-old woman experiencing rapid hair loss is using 5% Minoxidil, Saw Palmetto, vitamins, and Nizoral, but is advised to see a dermatologist as her symptoms may indicate a condition other than androgenetic alopecia, such as alopecia areata or a thyroid issue. Many suggest a biopsy and blood tests to determine the underlying cause.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.
