    TLDR Correcting trace element imbalances may help reduce alopecia areata symptoms.
    The document discussed the prevalence and causes of alopecia areata (AA), highlighting its association with trace element imbalances. AA affected 0.1-0.2% of the general population and was responsible for 0.7-3.0% of dermatology cases, particularly in individuals under 50. The study noted that deficiencies in essential micronutrients like iron, manganese, copper, zinc, calcium, and selenium were common in children with AA. These trace elements were crucial for hair health, influencing properties such as growth, thickness, and elasticity. Zinc, in particular, played a significant role in hair follicle recovery and preventing hair follicle regression. The findings suggested that correcting these imbalances could potentially mitigate AA symptoms.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

      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.

      How diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) is not an invitation to self-diagnose oneself with aggressive AGA and that seeking a specialized dermatologist may help people experiencing hair loss. Treatment options discussed include topical clobetasol propionate, oral minoxidil, and discontinuing finasteride.
