High cholesterol may lead to hair loss by causing cicatricial alopecia, an inflammatory disorder. Treatments discussed include cholesterol medication and statins.

community Losing Hair on Dutasteride? You might have LPP

96 upvotes 1 year ago

Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.

learn Hair Transplant

How long do hair transplants last? Hair transplants are typically permanent, but surrounding hair may thin over time.

learn Baicapil

Struggling with patchy hair loss like alopecia areata? Baicapil might help by reducing inflammation and reactivating growth. There is no published trial of Baicapil in alopecia areata. The anti-inflammatory and hair-density claims come from the ingredient's manufacturer and from laboratory work on its plant extracts, in people with androgenetic-type hair loss rather than autoimmune patchy hair loss.

learn Cetirizine

Could cetirizine help control autoimmune triggers in alopecia areata? No published trial has tested cetirizine in alopecia areata; one registered trial has not reported results. Small trials in pattern hair loss report modest benefit, so any use for alopecia areata is off-label and unproven.

learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.

learn horsetail extract

Is horsetail extract strong enough to help with androgenic alopecia, or only mild hair loss? No published human trial has tested horsetail extract as a treatment for androgenic alopecia; the available evidence is laboratory work and trials of silicon supplements, which point at hair quality rather than at DHT-driven pattern baldness.
