    TLDR The book is recommended for its new scientific information and balanced treatment options for hair loss in domestic animals.
    The book "Hair Loss Disorders in Domestic Animals" provided a comprehensive and scientifically logical classification of hair loss, particularly focusing on noninflammatory alopecias. It was praised for its clear layout, quality illustrations, and useful comparative data on hair follicles across species. However, it had some shortcomings, such as the lack of breed-specific information in the index, occasional scientific inaccuracies, and complex molecular biology explanations that were difficult for the target audience. Despite these issues, the book was recommended for its new scientific information, balanced treatment options, and its ability to stimulate critical thinking in the diagnosis and treatment of hair loss in domestic animals.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      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.

      community The MPB itch aka DHT itch is very real.

      Hair loss itch is caused by DHT attacking follicles and stimulating nerves. Finasteride users who respond well don't experience this itch.

      The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
