      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Hair loss itch is caused by DHT attacking follicles and stimulating nerves. Finasteride users who respond well don't experience this itch.
