    long-lasting skin disorder with persistent redness and swelling

    A chronic inflammatory skin condition is a long-lasting disorder where the skin becomes red, swollen, and irritated due to an ongoing inflammatory response. Examples include psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, leading to symptoms like itching, scaling, and discomfort.

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  19 upvotes 4 months ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      The user "ajsr8" shared their story of hair loss despite being on treatments. They started using finasteride in 2019 and later tried topical minoxidil, but it didn't seem to work. They also experienced side effects from other treatments. They are considering cutting off their hair and stopping the medications if there is no improvement in three months. Other users suggested trying different treatments and getting a blood test to check for underlying conditions.
