5 / 1000+ resultscommunity I think I’ve finally found the reason for my hair loss
The user experienced hair loss since 2019 and tried finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, and ketoconazole shampoo without success. A scalp biopsy showed scarring and inflammation from folliculitis, indicating chronic inflammation was affecting treatment effectiveness.
community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?
CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
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 My strong recommendation for those shedding hair
A user with aggressive male pattern baldness found that topical melatonin significantly reduced their hair shedding to 1 or 2 hairs per day and noticed some thickening of side hair. They tried many treatments like finasteride and minoxidil with little success, but topical melatonin showed immediate results in reducing hair loss.
community One+ year 1mg Fin, Ketoconazole, and 3.75 Oral Min. I have DUPA. Switched from Topical to Oral Min.
A user's experience with hair loss treatments such as finasteride, ketoconazole, and oral minoxidil that have not yielded any results; other users suggest shaving the head or getting a wig, while others offer additional advice such as seeing a dermatologist, checking thyroid levels, switching to dutasteride and adding needling, and trying stemoxydine.
