    Glossary Androgen-Mediated Cutaneous Disorders

    skin conditions influenced by male hormones like testosterone

    Androgen-Mediated Cutaneous Disorders are skin conditions influenced by androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. These disorders include acne, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), and androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss). They occur because androgens can affect the skin's oil production, hair growth, and hair loss patterns.

      community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

       63 upvotes 2 years ago
      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

      community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

       29 upvotes 2 months ago
      Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.
