Topical roflumilast is effective for reducing inflammation in various scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema, but not proven to stop scarring alopecia. Alternatives like apremilast and Vtama are also discussed for their anti-inflammatory benefits.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community Cool hair transplant visualization

976 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair transplants, including the use of techniques like FUE and the importance of a good donor area to avoid visible bald patches. It also touches on alternative treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Pyrolutimide, and debates the idea of embracing baldness versus seeking treatments.

community Vitamin E and K deficiency (F,25)

in Research/Science 3 upvotes 4 months ago

Vitamin E and K deficiencies due to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency may affect hair growth. A scalp biopsy is recommended to check for autoimmune-related hair loss.

community You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance

56 upvotes 1 year ago
