Skin Self-Photography for Dysplastic Nevus Monitoring Is Associated with a Decrease in the Number of Biopsies at Follow-Up: A Retrospective Analytical Study

research Skin self-photography for dysplastic nevus monitoring is associated with a decrease in the number of biopsies at follow-up: A retrospective analytical study

5 citations , September 2015 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This letter highlights that the effectiveness of skin self-photography for melanoma detection has not been evaluated, although it could be a cost-effective option for patients without access to professional skin photography.

community Dutasteride Isn't Working? Get a Scalp Biopsy NOW

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 19 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride may not be effective for everyone due to underlying issues, suggesting scalp biopsies for further diagnosis. Users discuss using higher doses of dutasteride, topical treatments, minoxidil, and pyrilutamide for hair loss management.

community Ultrasound can show you if your hair will ever grow back

in Research/Science 41 upvotes 5 months ago

Ultrasound imaging can non-invasively detect active and inactive hair follicles, inflammation, and fibrosis, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies. It may help assess hair growth potential and diagnose scalp issues, but some users believe in trying treatments regardless of ultrasound results.

community Losing Hair on Dutasteride? You might have LPP

96 upvotes 1 year ago

Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.
