This review discusses hair keratins and hairfollicle-specific epithelial keratins and their association with inherited hair disorders, reporting no new clinical results.
This case report describes a patient with SLE and APLS who developed basaloid follicular hamartomas, which persisted despite aggressive treatment for SLE, although hair regrowth occurred.

This review provides a synopsis of 53 cases of temporal triangular alopecia, noting its frequent detection in early childhood and potential association with congenital diseases, but it reports no new clinical findings.
A husband saw significant hair regrowth in 2.5 months using minoxidil, finasteride, collagen, biotin, multivitamins, GHK-cu, microneedling, and scalp oils. His wife highlighted the routine's effectiveness and the importance of consistency.
Finasteride is a controversial hair loss treatment, with some users experiencing positive results and others facing side effects like erectile dysfunction. The discussion emphasizes the importance of personal choice and informed decision-making.
Hairfollicle stem cells remain in bald individuals, but progenitor cells do not, raising questions about hair regrowth claims by Pelage. PP405 is discussed as a potential treatment, with skepticism about its effectiveness compared to existing treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
Hairfollicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
The conversation discusses using hairfollicle dermal papilla exosomes for hair loss treatment. It inquires about purchasing options for this treatment.
Can daily Fluridil application stop hairfollicle miniaturization?The single published fluridil trial (43 men; placebo-controlled for 3 months, then all on fluridil to 9 months) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.
How does folic acid support hairfollicle health and growth at a cellular level?Folate is required for the DNA synthesis that fast-dividing hair matrix cells depend on, and severe deficiency causes anemia—but no published trial has given folic acid to people with hair loss and measured the result, so a growth effect is a mechanism, not a finding.
