    GlossaryKeratinocytes

    cells in the epidermis that produce protective keratin protein

    Keratinocytes are the primary type of cell found in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. These cells produce keratin, a protein that helps protect the skin from environmental damage, pathogens, and water loss. They play a crucial role in the skin's barrier function and are involved in wound healing and the formation of hair and nails.

      Minoxidil is not an anti-androgen; it is a growth stimulator and does not lower DHT like finasteride or dutasteride. Minoxidil can cause side effects like facial swelling and anxiety due to its vasodilator properties.
