    rare genetic disorder causing dry, scaly skin and follicular bumps

    Ichthyosis Follicularis is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by the presence of dry, scaly skin and the formation of spiny follicular projections. These projections are due to abnormal keratinization around hair follicles, leading to rough, raised bumps on the skin. This condition often appears at birth or in early childhood and can be associated with other symptoms like alopecia (hair loss) and photophobia (sensitivity to light).

      community Targeted Follicular Finasteride Delivery: A Low-Systemic Strategy

       15 upvotes 5 months ago
      A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.

      The conversation discusses hair thinning and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, microneedling, oral minoxidil, RU58841, and stemoxydine. Users observe that hair on the top of the head is thinning and often grows as single strands rather than in groups.

      community What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation"

       5 upvotes 6 years ago
      Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.

      Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to maintain hair production and potentially increasing transplant yield. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or remains theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
