community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community Zero progress and hair slightly getting worse
A 21-year-old has been using 1 mg of finasteride and 1 mg of oral minoxidil for 10 months with no progress and worsening hair. They are considering switching to dutasteride and are seeking success stories and advice.
community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community Oral minoxidil gives hair everywhere except scalp,plss help
Oral minoxidil is causing body hair growth but not improving scalp hair, despite using dutasteride and finasteride. Users suggest waiting longer for results, checking vitamin levels, and considering additional treatments like topical minoxidil, dermarolling, and supplements.
