research Nail Whispers Revealing Dermatological and Systemic Secrets: An Analysis of Nail Disorders Associated With Diverse Dermatological and Systemic Conditions
This study at B.J. Medical College and Civil Hospital highlighted an extensive range of nail disorders, with onychomycosis being the most common, and emphasized the importance of nails in diagnosing both dermatological and systemic conditions.
research A new model of blood vessel remodeling
This study observed that hair follicle cycling in mouse skin involves physiological vascular remodeling, with VEGF playing a key role, suggesting potential therapeutic approaches for hair growth disorders.
research Epilepsy and Neurodegeneration: Clues in the Hair and Blood Vessels!
This case report identified a 4-month-old boy with Menkes disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of copper metabolism, noting symptoms like recurrent seizures, developmental delay, and specific physical characteristics, confirmed by genetic sequencing showing a pathogenic ATP7A mutation and low serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels.
research Obesity and the skin
Obesity is linked to various skin problems and may increase the risk of skin cancer.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Dental technician is convinced that he has found the cause of pattern hair loss
A dental technician claims malocclusion causes pattern hair loss due to poor scalp circulation. Users debate this, noting treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling focus on DHT and blood flow.
community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?
DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
community Vasodilators, Min, L-arginine, Niacin, Lisinoprol, etc.
The conversation discusses the use of vasodilators like Minoxidil, L-arginine, and Niacin for hair regrowth, with Minoxidil causing intolerable side effects for the original poster. It also highlights that certain medications, including Lisinopril, antidepressants, and statins, can cause hair loss.
community I think this is my stop, gentlepeople. So long and thanks for all the data 👋
A user shared their successful experience with hair regrowth and transitioning from male to female using minoxidil, finasteride, Nutrafol, microneedling, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). They expressed gratitude for the results and encouraged others to explore treatments that align with their personal goals.
community 3 months 5g Min only before/after, 26 y/o
The user experienced significant hair regrowth after three months of using 5 mg oral minoxidil nightly and plans to add finasteride to maintain progress. Many recommend combining minoxidil with finasteride or dutasteride to prevent future hair loss.

5 / 801 results- How does Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) differ from DHT-blocking treatments for androgenic alopecia? VEGF promotes blood vessel growth, while DHT-blocking treatments reduce hormone effects on hair follicles.
- How does capsicum improve scalp circulation and boost growth? Capsaicin dilates blood vessels through TRPV1 activation, so capsicum is expected to raise scalp blood flow, but every human hair-loss study used it inside a multi-ingredient formula — and the strongest one gave it orally, not on the scalp — so its effect on hair by itself is unproven, and it is a known skin irritant.
- What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.
