GlossaryDiabetic Ulcers (Diabetic Wounds)

open sores on feet due to diabetes-related complications

Diabetic ulcers, also known as diabetic foot ulcers, are open sores or wounds that occur in individuals with diabetes, typically on the feet. These ulcers result from a combination of factors such as poor blood circulation, neuropathy (nerve damage), and a weakened immune system, which impair the body's ability to heal. If left untreated, diabetic ulcers can lead to serious complications, including infections and, in severe cases, amputation.

community Is There Any Chance Of Cancer In Follicle Neogenesis through Microneedling?

in Microneedling 17 upvotes 5 years ago

The conversation discusses concerns about the potential risk of cancer from creating new hair follicles through microneedling, due to stem cell division. Specific treatments mentioned include microneedling, caffeine-containing anti-hair loss shampoos, and other unspecified topicals.

community New Study Fails to Show Benefits of Microneedling in Males with Balding.

in Treatment 157 upvotes 1 year ago

A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

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

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year 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 Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years

in Treatment 548 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
