5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Clinical evaluation of postoperative pressure‐induced alopecia using a hand‐held dermatoscope
This report describes a case of postoperative pressure-induced alopecia in a 5-year-old girl following liver transplantation, suggesting that scalp dermatoscopy may help differentiate this condition from alopecia areata.
research Patient Perspectives regarding Artificial Intelligence-Driven Trichoscopy for Alopecia Evaluation
Patients found AI helpful for alopecia diagnosis but want it to support, not replace, doctors.
research Histopathologic Evaluation of Alopecias
This review outlines the classification, histopathologic presentation, and pathogenetic concepts of scarring and nonscarring alopecias, reporting no new clinical results and emphasizing the need for clinicopathologic correlation.
research Clinical evaluation of alopecias using a handheld dermatoscope
This study concluded that a polarized-light handheld dermatoscope attached to a digital camera is a practical and useful tool for diagnosing different types of alopecia.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Simulative evaluation of taurine against alopecia caused by stress in Caenorhabditis elegans. - PubMed
Taurine shows potential in combating hair loss caused by chemical stress, especially when combined with other treatments like finasteride. Finasteride demonstrated better stress-reducing effects in the study.
community Efficacy of Topical Cetirizine 1% in Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia: Clinical and Dermoscopic Evaluation
Cetirizine 1% cream significantly improves hair growth and thickness in men with androgenic alopecia. It is considered effective, affordable, and has a low side effect profile.
community AGA evaluation and first steps - BEGINNER MEGAPOST
The conversation discusses androgenic alopecia (AGA) and its treatments, focusing on finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole shampoo. Finasteride is recommended as essential for preventing further hair loss.
community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.

9 / 801 results- Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.
- What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.
- Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
- Finasteride for alopecia: the definitive guide to using it correctly. Finasteride 1 mg daily blocks DHT and, in trials, slowed hair loss in most men over 6 to 12 months, though some men do not respond and the benefit lasts only while the drug is taken. It is prescription-only and carries a pregnancy contraindication.
- What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
