    TLDR Pustules in toxic erythema are linked to hair follicles or sweat ducts.
    The study described seven patients with generalized toxic erythema characterized by sterile pustules, which were specifically localized to hair follicles or epidermal sweat ducts. Five of these patients had a history of medication use, exposure to organic solvents, or infections, suggesting a potential link between these factors and the development of the condition.

      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.

      After six months on Dutasteride, the user's hair is worse than before, despite previously trying finasteride and RU/Fluridil without success. Some suggest continuing Dutasteride and adding progress photos, while others share their positive experiences or advise sticking to one treatment for at least a year.
