STRIAA (Severity TRichoscopy Index Alopecia Areata): Validation of a Novel Trichoscopic Tool for Evaluation of Alopecia Areata

A dermatologist checked for hereditary hair loss using blood tests and plans to perform a trichogram. The user had slightly low Vitamin D3 levels, and the trichogram may help confirm androgenetic alopecia.

A user created a web app called TrichoMetrics to track hair loss using photos and metrics like density and thinning. The app supports tracking treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride, with features for setting baselines, comparing progress, and logging treatment adherence.

The conversation discusses the use of trichoscopy to predict hair loss patterns and inform treatment approaches. Treatments mentioned include minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, with varying effectiveness based on gender-specific hair loss patterns.

The post discusses using ImageJ software to objectively track hair regrowth progress. The user is treating Androgen alopecia with dutasteride and minoxidil.

The conversation discusses using USB microscopes for scalp photos and provides a link to an overview of trichoscopy. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

A user created a tracker for hair loss treatments in clinical development, including compounds like Dermaliq, RU58841, and Pyrilutamide. The tracker updates with new information and allows filtering by conditions like androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and alopecia areata (AA).
