research The usefulness of trichoscopy in the diagnosing of fibrosing alopecia in pattern distribution
This case report highlights the importance of trichoscopy in diagnosing fibrosing alopecia in pattern distribution, distinguishing it from female pattern hair loss, and guiding effective treatment.
research Distinctive age distribution and hair loss pattern putatively highlighting uniqueness of Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
This study analyzed 24 Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and found a distinctive "parachute" hair loss pattern, emphasizing unique clinical characteristics potentially influenced by racial factors.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
This study reports that some patients with androgenetic alopecia may also exhibit clinical and histological features of inflammation and fibrosis, similar to those found in lichen planopilaris.
research Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
This review reports no new clinical results but discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution as a distinct scarring alopecia with characteristics of both androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris.

5 / 247 resultscommunity Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
A user has been experiencing hair loss for 4 years, with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and various supplements proving ineffective. They were diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a condition that may require a combination of anti-inflammatory and hair growth treatments.
community DUPA/Retrograde might not be DHT based...GET A BIOPSY QUICK or permanent Hair Loss!
DUPA and retrograde alopecia may not be solely DHT-based, and a biopsy is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Treatments mentioned include dutasteride, oral minoxidil, pioglitazone, clobetasol, calcipotriol, ketoconazole, and doxycycline, depending on the specific condition.
community Losing Hair on Dutasteride? You might have LPP
Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.
community DUPA VS. FAPD, which is more treatable? Which is worse?
DUPA is considered more treatable than FAPD, as FAPD involves scarring that prevents hair regrowth. The user has started treatment with oral dutasteride and minoxidil, hoping for better results than previous treatments.
community Turning vellus hairs into terminal hair
People are discussing hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, to turn vellus hairs into terminal hairs. Some users also mention using antibiotics, oral minoxidil, dutasteride, DHT blockers, biotin, and natural remedies like onion juice and seeds to improve hair growth.

7 / 801 results- Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
- What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
- Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life. PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.
- What is male pattern baldness? Male pattern baldness is a genetic condition causing hair loss in men, starting with a receding hairline.
- Alfatradiol: Can it help if my hair loss is linked to DHT? The one randomised trial of topical alfatradiol — in 103 women — found hair thickness and density essentially unchanged after six months, while minoxidil improved both; its authors credited alfatradiol with slowing hair loss rather than regrowing hair. Laboratory work supports a local effect on follicular DHT, but no controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
