    Glossary Autoimmune Skin Diseases

    immune system attacks skin, causing inflammation and abnormalities

    Autoimmune Skin Diseases, also known as Autoimmune Dermatological Disorders, are conditions where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own skin cells, leading to inflammation, rashes, blisters, or other skin abnormalities. Examples include psoriasis, vitiligo, and lupus erythematosus. These diseases can cause significant discomfort and may require treatments like immunosuppressive medications to manage symptoms.

      The post discusses the experiences of individuals with diffuse hair thinning using finasteride, with many reporting no improvement or worsening conditions after 6 months. Various suggestions include persisting with the treatment, checking for underlying conditions, adding minoxidil for volume, adjusting dosage, and considering other potential causes like autoimmune responses and inflammation.

      community Has anyone here tried taking GLA supplements?

       1 upvotes 1 year ago
      GLA may help with hair loss due to its anti-inflammatory properties and 5ar enzyme inhibition. It's considered potentially more important than biotin, especially for those already using finasteride and dutasteride.

       56 upvotes 1 year ago
      Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.

       131 upvotes 1 year ago
      Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.

      • Is scalp micropigmentation safe? Providers describe scalp micropigmentation as low-risk when a trained practitioner uses sterile single-use equipment, but that is a provider claim rather than a regulatory finding: pigment allergy, infection and colour change are documented risks of cosmetic tattooing.
