research Response to Effectiveness of Dutasteride in a Large Series of Patients with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in Real Clinical Practice
The authors suggest that 5-α-reductase inhibitors, like dutasteride, are effective in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia and should be the first-line treatment, with other options for severe cases. They also recommend further research on Janus kinase inhibitors.
research Molecular Profiling of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Reveals TH1 and JAK-STAT Up-Regulation with No Suppression of Hair Keratins
Frontal fibrosing alopecia shows increased inflammation and JAK-STAT pathway activity without reduced hair proteins.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Under Dynamic Optical Coherence Tomography
D-OCT shows increased blood vessel growth in response to tissue damage in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and is useful for diagnosis and monitoring.
research Further Research Needed If Finasteride Is to Become Standard of Care for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
More research needed to confirm finasteride as standard treatment for FFA.

5 / 8 resultscommunity Using a SERM (Ralox) and oral fin at the same time - anyone with similar experiences?
The user experienced gynecomastia from finasteride, used raloxifene to treat it, and is now taking both without new gyno symptoms but also without hair regrowth. They are seeking others' experiences with this combination and its effects on hair.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
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 Why is nobody studying the difference between donor and balding hair?
The conversation discusses why the difference between donor and balding hair isn't studied more to find a cure for hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance
The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.
community Diffuse thinning is so brutal.
A 25-year-old with AGA experienced hair thinning and dandruff, stabilized with topical finasteride and minoxidil but saw minimal regrowth. They seek advice on styling and consider oral minoxidil and microneedling for denser hair.
