    GlossaryBasal Cell Carcinoma Treatment

    involves removing or destroying basal cell skin cancer

    Basal Cell Carcinoma Treatment (BCC Treatment) involves various methods to remove or destroy basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer. Options include surgical excision, Mohs surgery (a precise technique that removes cancerous tissue layer by layer), cryotherapy (freezing the cancer cells), topical medications, and radiation therapy. The choice of treatment depends on the size, location, and depth of the carcinoma, as well as the patient's overall health.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  138 upvotes 9 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
