research Value of trichoscopy versus trichogram for diagnosis of female androgenetic alopecia
This study reported that trichoscopy is a more effective diagnostic tool than the trichogram for early diagnosis of FAGA, regardless of hair shaft diversity cut-off levels.
research Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of the Yellow Dot Pattern in Alopecia Areata
This study found that the yellow dot pattern observed in dermoscopy of alopecia areata corresponds to inefficient follicular structures containing hair remnants, as corroborated by reflectance confocal microscopy and pathological findings.
research A systematic review of acute telogen effluvium, a harrowing post‐COVID‐19 manifestation
This systematic review reports that acute telogen effluvium may occur as a stress-induced hair loss following COVID-19 recovery, with most patients experiencing hair regrowth over time.
research Epidemiological, Clinical, and Trichoscopic Features of Syphilitic Alopecia: A Retrospective Analysis and Systematic Review

5 / 187 resultscommunity Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community Iron D3 levels actually matter more else dht blockers wont work(yes they can keep follicle alive)
Taking finasteride alone did not stop hair loss, but adding vitamin D3 and iron supplements improved hair coverage and quality. It's important to check and address deficiencies, but caution is advised with iron supplementation without medical guidance.
community The new growth in hair loss research: With increasing evidence of its impact on mental health, scientists are pushing forward with breakthroughs on balding. Later this year, scientists will launch one of the first ever clinical trials with hair follicles grown entirely from stem cells.
Hair loss impacts mental health, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell transplants discussed. There is hope for future breakthroughs, but current treatments are limited, and awareness is lacking.
community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
community I’m in Greece/ abroad and ran out of fin, what will biologically happen from stopping fin for 4-5 weeks?
Stopping finasteride for 4-5 weeks is unlikely to cause significant hair loss, as hair follicles operate on cycles measured in months. Finasteride can be purchased without a prescription in Greece, making it easy to continue treatment.
