research A case of rapid progression of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia after COVID-19 infection
COVID-19 may worsen hair loss in people with a certain type of scarring alopecia, but early treatment can help improve symptoms and hair regrowth.
research Divergent progression pathways in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: Trichoscopic perspectives
Men's and women's pattern hair loss progress differently, with men showing more hair thinning and women having more widespread hair loss.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA causes progressive hair loss in Black women, starting from a central scalp patch.
research Hair Breakage as a Presenting Sign of Early or Occult Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair breakage may be an early sign of a hair loss condition called CCCA in African American women.
research Elastic tissue in scars and alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
community I am a dermatologist with a clinical interest in alopecia. AMA
In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment
The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
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 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001) Pt 2
Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
