Glossary Bexarotene

medication used to treat certain types of skin cancer

Bexarotene is a medication primarily used to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, a type of skin cancer. It works by activating retinoid X receptors, which help regulate cell growth and differentiation. While it is not specifically used for hair loss or alopecia, its effects on cell growth have been studied in various contexts, including dermatological conditions.
