This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.
research Step-down approach to concentration of intra-lesional triamcinolone acetonide in treatment of scalp patchy alopecia areata: insights from an open-label randomized trial
Using a higher concentration of triamcinolone acetonide leads to faster hair regrowth in scalp patchy alopecia areata.
research Trichoscopic findings in patients with patchy alopecia and its comparison with histopathological diagnosis
This study found that trichoscopy was 73.77% concordant with histopathology in diagnosing patchy alopecia, highlighting its usefulness as a diagnostic tool for conditions like alopecia areata, lichen planus pigmentosus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.

community Patch Behind Ear Possibly Due to Glasses, Is it Traction Alopecia?
The patch behind the ear is likely traction alopecia caused by glasses. No specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 were mentioned.
community Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Pilose antler extracts promotes hair growth in androgenetic alopecia mice by activating hair follicle stem cells via the AKT and Wnt pathways
Pilose antler extracts may promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia by activating hair follicle stem cells through the AKT and Wnt pathways. However, results in mice may not directly apply to humans due to differences in genetic and biochemical conditions.
community Has anyone had experience with PRP causing or exasperating alopecia areata?
A 33-year-old female with androgenic alopecia experienced alopecia areata patches after PRP treatment. She is seeking others' experiences with PRP worsening alopecia areata.
community Hair repigmentation of poliosis circumscripta in androgenetic alopecia patient treated with exosomes and fractional picosecond laser
Exosomes combined with fractional picosecond laser treatment were effective in treating androgenetic alopecia and promoting repigmentation in white hair patches. The role of exosomes in hair repigmentation, particularly in conditions like poliosis, is not well-studied.

10 / 801 results- 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.
- What is Scalp Micropigmentation and how does it help people with visible hair loss? Scalp Micropigmentation creates the illusion of hair follicles on the scalp for visible hair loss.
- 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.
- Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life. PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.
- Tried everything and still getting bald patches? Procapil may help calm the immune response Procapil is a cosmetic ingredient complex; laboratory studies of its individual ingredients report anti-inflammatory effects, but no published clinical trial has tested it in alopecia areata or any other immune-related hair loss. Spreading bald patches should be assessed by a dermatologist.
