TLDR The essay suggests hair loss might be caused by changes in skull bones.

The document is a pictorial essay proposing that hair loss may be linked to the displacement of head bones, particularly due to changes in Wormian bones in the occipital region and the movement of parietal bones, which could lead to a tightening of the galea aponeurotica. The essay uses images to illustrate changes in the skull with age and how these may relate to hair loss, suggesting that individuals with Wormian bones in the lambdoid suture might experience hair loss due to the loosening of connections between skull bones. The theory is presented as a possible contributor to understanding male pattern baldness but acknowledges other causes like genetic, hormonal, or infectious factors. It also differentiates between male and female hair loss patterns, indicating that female hair loss would require separate research. The document lacks empirical data and does not specify the number of subjects studied.

community When I was in my 20s, skinny and with long hair, one of my biggest fear was being fat and bald in my 40s. Now that it’s come to pass, I’ve found there are better things to worry about. I started shaving my head in 05 when I was 32 and I can sum it all up in one word: Liberating.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 4 months ago

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.

The post discusses potential links between low vitamin D levels and hair loss, and how correcting this might impact the effectiveness of Minoxidil and Finasteride treatments.
