    TLDR COVID-19 may increase hair loss, and Nourkrin® could help treat it.
    The document "COVID-19 Can Exacerbate Pattern Hair Loss and Trigger Telogen Effluvium – The Role of Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with Nourkrin® in Clinical Treatment of COVID-19 Associated Hair Loss" from December 2020, discussed how COVID-19 can worsen pattern hair loss and trigger a condition called Telogen Effluvium, a form of temporary hair loss. The paper suggested that Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with a product called Nourkrin® could be used in the clinical treatment of hair loss associated with COVID-19. However, the document did not provide specific numbers of people involved in the study, making it difficult to assess the strength of the findings.

      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.

      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
