       187 upvotes 7 months ago

      community Hair Loss & Lipids: Why you have sebderm, folliculitis, LPP, inflammation, etc...

       131 upvotes 1 year ago
      Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
