The study examined bacterial colonization and antibiotic resistance in 161 subjects, including 68 with primary cicatricial alopecia (PCA) and 93 controls. It found a higher prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus (24.3%) and S. lugdunensis (8.1%) in PCA patients, while S. capitis (54.5%) was more common in controls. PCA patients also had more Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Klebsiella spp. PCA samples showed significant resistance to antibiotics like benzylpenicillin, fusidic acid, and clindamycin, with 15% of S. aureus isolates being methicillin-resistant in neutrophilic PCA cases. The study emphasizes the need for bacterial culture and susceptibility testing for effective PCA treatment and suggests further research to explore bacterial roles in PCA pathogenesis.

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 DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community Oral Fin+Min: Digital microscope scalp review - Day 0 Vs 3 Months
A user used oral finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss, seeing new hair growth under a microscope but no visible change. Commenters debated if the growth was real hair or fibers, and the user will update every 90 days.
community Hair is kinking rapidly following hair loss
Hair loss has slowed, but uneven growth and kinking persist despite using keto/nizoral shampoo and clotrimazole. Stress and anxiety might be contributing factors.
