Did you mean Hair Follicle Tumors?

Glossary Hair Follicle Tumors

abnormal growths originating in hair-producing skin structures

Hair follicle tumors are abnormal growths that originate in the hair follicles, the tiny structures in the skin from which hair grows. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may present as lumps or lesions on the skin. They can vary in appearance and behavior, requiring different diagnostic and treatment approaches depending on their type and severity.

community Hair follicle cloning is already possible

in Chat 38 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.

community Say this new supposed miracle drug “PP405” does actually cure baldness, how will that affect people with hair transplants?

201 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 may reactivate dormant hair follicles but won't replace hair transplants or resurrect dead follicles. Its effectiveness, cost, and impact compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are uncertain.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community If PP405 works it will be fkn impossible to buy it.

103 upvotes 10 months ago

PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may activate dormant hair follicles, but there are concerns about its effectiveness, cost, and side effects. Users discuss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, expressing skepticism about PP405's long-term success and accessibility.

community DHEA, the culprit behind DUPA ? Read this!

20 upvotes 3 years ago

High DHEA levels may contribute to hair loss by increasing DHT in hair follicles, potentially explaining why finasteride is ineffective for some. Treatments like high-dose dutasteride and RU58841 are suggested, but the underlying cause, such as adrenal issues, should be investigated.
