Convolutional Neural Networks for Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Androgenetic Alopecia Using Dermoscopic Hair Images

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.

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.

A dermatologist checked for hereditary hair loss using blood tests and plans to perform a trichogram. The user had slightly low Vitamin D3 levels, and the trichogram may help confirm androgenetic alopecia.

A user created a web app called TrichoMetrics to track hair loss using photos and metrics like density and thinning. The app supports tracking treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride, with features for setting baselines, comparing progress, and logging treatment adherence.

The user is experiencing progressive hair thinning despite using finasteride and dutasteride. A biopsy confirmed male pattern baldness, and minoxidil was suggested as an additional treatment.

The user is using minoxidil and finasteride to treat hair loss and is concerned about shedding and potential aggressive hair loss. They noticed some regrowth in trichoscopy pictures but are unsure about real-life changes.
