    GlossaryCentral Obesity

    excessive fat accumulation around the abdomen and internal organs

    Central obesity, also known as abdominal obesity, refers to the excessive accumulation of fat around the stomach and abdomen. This type of fat distribution is particularly concerning because it is associated with a higher risk of metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which is stored just under the skin, central obesity involves visceral fat that surrounds internal organs, making it more harmful to overall health.

      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.

      The conversation discusses hair regrowth after nearly 7 months of using 1mg finasteride and dermarolling, with some users noticing thicker hair and improved density. Minoxidil was suggested but ruled out due to the user's cats, and a hair transplant was mentioned as a potential solution for completely bald areas.
