research Extracellular Caspase-1 induces hair stem cell migration in wounded and inflamed skin conditions

4 citations , March 2024 in “The Journal of Cell Biology”

This study found that Caspase-1, traditionally viewed as an inflammasome component, is secreted upon wounding and plays a novel role by triggering hair follicle stem cell migration into the epidermis, offering insights into epithelial hyperplasia mechanisms in inflammatory skin conditions.

research Laser-assisted hair removal: Side effects of Q-switched Nd:YAG, long-pulsed ruby, and alexandrite lasers

294 citations , August 1999 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology”

This study observed that the majority of side effects from laser-assisted hair removal were associated with ruby and alexandrite lasers, particularly in patients with tanned or darker skin types.

research Nanoparticles enhance therapeutic outcome in inflamed skin therapy

80 citations , June 2012 in “European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics”

This study observed that smaller polymeric submicron particles provided more efficient selective drug delivery to inflamed skin in a mouse model, enhancing therapeutic effects while reducing systemic adverse effects.

research 1373 Expression of programmed cell death 1 inversely correlated with the density of CD8+ T cells infiltrating hair follicles in alopecia areata

April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that in biopsied skin samples of alopecia areata, a lower anagen/telogen ratio was associated with increased T cell infiltration, and enhancing the PD-1/PD-L1 axis may inhibit CD8+T cell infiltration and improve the condition.

community Another mechanism to hair loss that isn’t talked about. Heavy metals and follicle waste.

16 upvotes 3 months ago

Hair follicles can store waste, potentially leading to hair loss, and treatments like DHT blockers and Minoxidil are suggested. Scalp inflammation and sensitivity to DHT also contribute to hair loss, and addressing these factors with a clinician is recommended.

community Scalp Skin Barrier Health and Hair Follicle Cycling: A Potential Overlooked Connection

in Technology 4 months ago

The conversation discusses the importance of scalp skin barrier health in hair follicle cycling, suggesting treatments like ceramides or niacinamide to support hair growth. It also mentions the use of finasteride for hair loss.

community Inflammation's surprising role in shrinking hair follicles and AGA

in Technology 66 upvotes 4 months ago

Inflammation plays a significant role in hair follicle miniaturization and androgenetic alopecia, with treatments like ketoconazole shampoo, minoxidil, and finasteride being used to address it. Users discuss the benefits of anti-inflammatory treatments and peptides like KPV, alongside traditional hair loss treatments, to improve scalp health and hair quality.

community Gut microbiome imbalances linked to scalp inflammation and hair follicle impact

in Technology 243 upvotes 4 months ago

Gut microbiome imbalances can cause scalp inflammation and affect hair follicles, potentially leading to hair loss. Treatments include finasteride, peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.

community Quercetin got rid of my scalp soreness

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Quercetin reduced scalp soreness and may help with histamine-related hair loss. The soreness felt like inflamed follicles beneath the scalp surface.

learn Fluocinolone

What type of hair loss is Fluocinolone recommended for, and how does it help inflamed scalps? Fluocinolone is a prescription topical corticosteroid used for inflammatory scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and scarring alopecias. It calms inflammation rather than growing hair, it is not a treatment for pattern hair loss, and its labelling warns against prolonged use.
Is Fluocinolone a treatment for hair loss itself or just for calming scalp irritation? Fluocinolone acetonide is a prescription corticosteroid approved for inflammatory skin conditions, not for hair loss; no published human trial has measured hair regrowth with it, so at most it may help indirectly by calming an inflamed scalp.

learn Sulforaphane

Can sulforaphane protect hair follicles from inflammation and damage? In lab and mouse studies, sulforaphane reduced markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. No human study has tested whether it protects hair follicles.

learn Hydrocortisone

Is hydrocortisone effective for stopping inflammation that blocks hair growth? Sources describe hydrocortisone as a short-course treatment for scalp inflammation such as seborrhoeic dermatitis or eczema, and no verified trial tests it as a hair-regrowth treatment; the corticosteroids used for alopecia areata are the potent prescription ones, and prolonged use of any topical steroid on the scalp risks skin thinning.
