Glossary Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

group of genetic disorders affecting connective tissues' strength and elasticity

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the connective tissues, which provide support to the skin, joints, blood vessels, and other organs. People with EDS often have overly flexible joints, stretchy and fragile skin, and may experience frequent joint dislocations and chronic pain. The severity and specific symptoms can vary widely among the different types of EDS.

community Who won’t respond to minoxidil? (Studies)

33 upvotes 6 months ago

Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to differences in sulfotransferase enzyme levels in the scalp, affecting people with conditions like ASD, liver disease, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments like topical tretinoin, microneedling, and using minoxidil sulfate instead of regular minoxidil can improve results for those with low enzyme levels.

community I am starting to believe that bloodflow is the reason for hair loss...

Hair loss may be linked to blood flow issues, but DHT is considered the main cause. Treatments used include finasteride, RU58841, minoxidil, vitamin D3, microneedling, and dutasteride, but hair loss persists.

community DUPA, Non Responders and Connective Tissue Disorders

8 upvotes 1 year ago

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.
