community Losing Hair on Dutasteride? You might have LPP

96 upvotes 1 year ago

Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.

learn Baricitinib

JAK inhibitor that reduces inflammation and immune attacks on hair follicles, leading to potential hair regrowth, especially in alopecia areata cases

Baricitinib: How did a drug for arthritis end up helping people regrow hair from alopecia areata? Baricitinib helps regrow hair by targeting the autoimmune response in alopecia areata.

learn Tofacitinib

a JAK inhibitor for alopecia areata and other autoimmune conditions

What is tofacitinib, and why is it discussed in relation to autoimmune-related hair loss such as alopecia areata? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis — not for alopecia areata. It is discussed for hair loss because a 2014 case report and a 2016 open-label trial reported regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but that use is off-label, the regrowth relapsed after stopping, and the drug carries an FDA boxed warning.
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 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.
