Glossary Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution

type of hair loss with scarring in a patterned distribution

Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution is a type of hair loss where the hair follicles are replaced by fibrous (scar) tissue, leading to permanent hair loss. This condition typically follows a pattern similar to androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), but with the added complication of scarring, which makes hair regrowth impossible.

learn TDM-105795

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.

learn Finasteride

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.
