    GlossaryNoninflammatory Alopecia

    hair loss without scalp redness, swelling, or irritation

    Noninflammatory Alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs without any signs of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, or irritation of the scalp. This type of alopecia can be caused by factors like genetics, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions, and it typically results in gradual thinning or shedding of hair without the presence of scalp inflammation.

      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.

      Hair loss itch is caused by DHT attacking follicles and stimulating nerves. Finasteride users who respond well don't experience this itch.
