research Hair Distribution Width – A Novel Trichoscopy Parameter for Hair Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia
New method, hair distribution width (HDW), improves accuracy in diagnosing androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
research Dermoscopy Study of Androgenic Alopecia in Men
Dermoscopy shows that varying hair shaft thickness and single hair follicles are main signs of male pattern baldness, especially in the fronto-temporal region.
research Trichoscopic Features of Androgenic Alopecia and Telogen Effluvium
AGA and TE can be differentiated by specific trichoscopic features, with AGA showing more variation in hair thickness in fronto-temporal areas.
research Trichoscopy in Alopecias: Diagnosis Simplified
Trichoscopy is a useful, non-invasive way to diagnose different types of hair loss.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
community Got a microscope camera. Here’s the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
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.
