    TLDR The document corrects an author's affiliation in previous articles about COVID-19 and its links to hair loss and hormones.
    This document is a corrigendum to correct the institutional affiliation of Flavio A. Cadegiani, which was previously listed incorrectly as 'Federal University of São Paulo' in four articles related to COVID-19 and its association with androgenetic alopecia, hyperandrogenism, and the use of anti-androgens. The correct affiliations should be 'Corpometria Institute, Brasilia, DF, Brazil' and 'Applied Biology Inc, Irvine, CA, USA'. The articles in question discussed the reduced frequency of COVID-19 symptoms in males with androgenetic alopecia taking 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, the clinical symptoms of hyperandrogenic women diagnosed with COVID-19, the potential protective effects of anti-androgens against severe COVID-19 outcomes, and how an androgen receptor genetic variant may predict COVID-19 disease severity.

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 1 year ago
      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
