6 / 801 results- Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.
- What is tofacitinib, and why is it discussed in relation to autoimmune-related hair loss such as alopecia areata? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis — not for alopecia areata. It is discussed for hair loss because a 2014 case report and a 2016 open-label trial reported regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but that use is off-label, the regrowth relapsed after stopping, and the drug carries an FDA boxed warning.
- Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
- What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.
- 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.

Research
5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Focal resolution of alopecia areata in response to potential smartwatch-mediated photobiomodulation
In this study, a solitary patch of significant hair regrowth was observed in a patient with refractory alopecia universalis under the site of a smartwatch emitting green, red, and infrared light, supporting photobiomodulation as a potential treatment for alopecia areata.
research Hair regrowth following fecal microbiota transplantation in an elderly patient with alopecia areata: A case report and review of the literature
In this case report, an 86-year-old man experienced new hair growth and color change in alopecia areata after receiving fecal microbiota transplantation for noninfectious diarrhea.
research Cyclosporine With and Without Systemic Corticosteroids in Treatment of Alopecia Areata: A Systematic Review
This systematic review assessed cyclosporine's effectiveness with or without corticosteroids for treating alopecia areata, finding combined therapy more effective and with a lower recurrence rate than monotherapy, especially for severe cases, though results varied by alopecia type.
research Alopecia areata. Diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations of the Polish Dermatological Society. Part 1. Diagnosis and severity assessment
There are two main types of alopecia areata with different severity, and diagnosis is made through clinical examination and trichoscopy, influencing treatment choices.
research The gut microbiome and Alopecia areata: Implications for early diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapies
This review discusses the potential influence of gut microbiota on alopecia areata and suggests fecal microbial transplantation as a possible therapeutic approach but reports no new results.

2 / 1000+ resultscommunity Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community What if DHT is not the vilan.
Hair loss may be influenced more by inflammation, microbiome imbalances, and gut health than DHT. Treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, fecal microbiota transplants, and JAK inhibitors.
