    thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional to assess health

    A Clinical Examination, also known as a Physical Examination, is a thorough evaluation performed by a healthcare professional to assess a patient's overall health and identify any medical conditions. This process typically involves observing, palpating, percussing, and auscultating various parts of the body, as well as taking vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months ago
      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 Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      in Research/Science  255 upvotes 1 week ago
      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.

      community microneedle, any long term users damage?

      in Microneedling  35 upvotes 5 months ago
      Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.
