    medical strategies to manage immune system attacks on the body

    Autoimmune Disease Treatments, also known as Autoimmune Therapy or Autoimmune Disorder Treatments, involve medical strategies designed to manage and alleviate the symptoms of autoimmune conditions, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. These treatments can include immunosuppressive drugs to reduce immune system activity, biologics that target specific components of the immune response, and lifestyle changes to support overall health.

      The conversation suggests that people should consult a dermatologist to understand their type of hair loss before starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride, especially if they have autoimmune issues or low DHT. Some participants believe in starting treatment like finasteride immediately if hair loss is due to DHT, while others recommend ruling out other causes and considering minoxidil first, especially for younger individuals.
