    TLDR Women with early onset androgenetic alopecia have worse lipid profiles.
    This case-control study analyzed lipid values in 300 patients, including 150 with early onset androgenetic alopecia (80 males and 70 females) and 150 controls with other skin diseases. Female patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher triglycerides (123.8 vs 89.43 mg/dl, p=0.006), total cholesterol (196.1 vs 182.3 mg/dl, p=0.014), LDL-C (114.1 vs 98.8 mg/dl, p=0.0006), and lower HDL-C (56.8 vs 67.7 mg/dl, p<0.05) compared to controls, suggesting a potential link between androgenetic alopecia and adverse lipid profiles in women.

      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.

      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

      Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

      Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
