    TLDR Some patients on anti-TNF drugs experience a type of hair loss called TAIAPA.
    The document from May 24, 2012, discussed a newly identified condition called tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor associated psoriasiform alopecia (TAIAPA). This condition, characterized by hair loss, was found in patients who were on tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (anti-TNFs). The emergence of TAIAPA was not unexpected due to the known occurrence of paradoxical psoriasiform eruptions, including palmoplantar pustular psoriasis, scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, guttate psoriasis, and plaque-type psoriasiform eruptions, in patients treated with anti-TNFs.

      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.
