    TLDR Kids with skin problems are more likely to have mental health issues.
    The 2021 study "Psychiatric morbidity in children and adolescents with dermatological disorders" involved 502 participants, half of whom had dermatological disorders like alopecia. The study found a significant correlation between these skin conditions and increased psychiatric morbidity in children and adolescents. Rates of general psychiatric comorbidity, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and adjustment disorders were significantly higher in the group with dermatological disorders compared to the control group. The study also found that psychiatric comorbidity was higher in inflammatory and allergic dermatoses compared to other dermatological subgroups. The study concluded that dermatological diseases restrict physical activity, thus increasing the risk of psychiatric comorbidity, and emphasized the need for close collaboration between psychiatry and dermatology disciplines in treating patients with psychocutaneous conditions.

      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.

      Dutasteride has been used for 20 years with some hair thickness improvement but no dramatic regrowth. The user also experimented with minoxidil, tretinoin, and peptides like BPC 157 for potential benefits in hair density and quality.
