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 Dutasteride Isn't Working? Get a Scalp Biopsy NOW
Dutasteride may not be effective for everyone due to underlying issues, suggesting scalp biopsies for further diagnosis. Users discuss using higher doses of dutasteride, topical treatments, minoxidil, and pyrilutamide for hair loss management.
community can someone help me identify these pls
The user is experiencing diffuse thinning and inflammation despite using 2.5mg dutasteride daily, ciclopirox, and ketoconazole shampoos. They are considering treatments like hydroxychloroquine and JAK inhibitors due to suspected scarring alopecia and have faced challenges in obtaining a scalp biopsy.
community DUPA, Non Responders and Connective Tissue Disorders
A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.

6 / 800 results- When should hydrocortisone be used for hair loss — is it only for irritated scalps or also alopecia areata? Hydrocortisone is a low-potency topical steroid whose labelled use is calming scalp irritation such as dermatitis; for alopecia areata no verified human trial supports it on its own, and dermatologists generally use stronger prescription corticosteroids instead.
- Is hydrocortisone effective for stopping inflammation that blocks hair growth? Sources describe hydrocortisone as a short-course treatment for scalp inflammation such as seborrhoeic dermatitis or eczema, and no verified trial tests it as a hair-regrowth treatment; the corticosteroids used for alopecia areata are the potent prescription ones, and prolonged use of any topical steroid on the scalp risks skin thinning.
- What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and there is no evidence that salicylic acid helps hair regrow in it.
- Are topical Vitamin D treatments useful for alopecia? Small, short trials suggest topical vitamin D analogues such as calcipotriol may help some people with mild patchy alopecia areata. There is no trial evidence that they help pattern hair loss.
- What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 has been studied only in men with androgenetic alopecia, in two Phase 1 studies and one 16-week Phase 2 trial. There is no research on it in women or in any other type of hair loss.
