community Hot weather causing hair shedding?

3 upvotes 9 months ago

Hot weather can increase hair shedding, possibly due to dehydration and active sebaceous glands. Using shampoos with salicylic acid or zinc pyrithione may help; daily anti-inflammatory use is not recommended.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

63 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

learn Tofacitinib

What types of hair loss conditions are most commonly associated with tofacitinib use in clinical settings? Published studies link tofacitinib mainly to alopecia areata and its severe variants — as an off-label drug being studied for them, not as a cause of hair loss. The evidence is mostly small, open-label or retrospective, and relapse after stopping is commonly reported.

learn sh-Polypeptide-7

Are there any safety concerns or allergic reactions associated with sh-Polypeptide-7 in topical hair products? sh-Polypeptide-7 is recombinant human growth hormone, and no published human study has tested its safety on the scalp, so its safety is not established. Dermatologists commonly advise patch testing a new scalp product, and people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have diabetes, a history of cancer or an endocrine condition should ask a doctor first.

learn white tea

Are there any side effects or scalp reactions associated with white tea in hair treatments? In one trial, women using green-tea cream plus capsules reported more skin irritation than placebo; a US cosmetic safety panel judged tea-leaf ingredients safe as used only when formulated not to cause allergy.
