Hair Casts

    TLDR Tretinoin lotion can remove hair casts, which come from a specific part of the hair follicle and can be classified into two types.
    The study described idiopathic hair casts in two young girls, aged 5 and 7 years, and found that a 0.025% tretinoin lotion was effective in removing the casts. Microscopic investigations suggested that these lesions originated from the infrainfundibular region, as both inner and outer root sheath components were observed in the casts. The literature review classified patients into two groups: those with idiopathic disease showing a diffuse pattern and those with disease secondary to various inflammatory scalp disorders.

      Tretinoin's effectiveness for hair regrowth alone is questioned, with interest in its use with oral minoxidil. The discussion also considers whether finasteride or dutasteride is the better DHT blocker and if switching to dutasteride is advisable for those without side effects from finasteride.

      Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
