This paper presents a new method using Convolutional Neural Networks for detecting hair and scalpdiseases, aiming to enhance diagnostics accessibility through a web-based platform integration.
The document explains different hair and scalp conditions, including common hair loss after pregnancy or illness, drug-induced hair loss, hereditary excessive hair growth, patterned baldness, autoimmune hair loss, and permanent loss due to skin disease, with generally limited treatment options.
The user is experiencing hair loss, possibly due to androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, and has tried ketoconazole shampoo without success. They are hesitant to use finasteride due to potential side effects and are seeking advice on managing their condition.
Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.
Topical roflumilast is effective for reducing inflammation in various scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema, but not proven to stop scarring alopecia. Alternatives like apremilast and Vtama are also discussed for their anti-inflammatory benefits.
The user reported subtle hair regrowth by focusing on scalp health and lifestyle changes, using Nizoral shampoo and methods to reduce inflammation and cortisol, without using finasteride, minoxidil, or other common treatments. Opinions in the conversation varied, with some skeptical of the results and others acknowledging the potential benefits of addressing scalp health and inflammation.
Hair loss treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp exercises. Opinions vary on the effectiveness, with some attributing hair loss to muscle tension and inflammation, while others focus on genetics and DHT.
