    TLDR People with acne have a different balance of certain antioxidants in their blood compared to healthy individuals.
    The study "Serum total thiol level in Acne Vulgaris Patients and its relation to oxidative stress" conducted research on 40 individuals diagnosed with Acne Vulgaris (AV) and compared them to 40 healthy individuals of the same age and sex. The study found that the serum total thiol and serum thiol disulfide levels in the AV group were significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.001). Conversely, the total thiol/thiol disulfide ratio in the AV group was significantly lower than in the control group (p < 0.001). This suggests that there is a dynamic imbalance between thiol/disulfide in individuals suffering from AV compared to healthy individuals.

      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.
