Glossary Noninflammatory 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.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Salicylic acid

What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.

learn Baicapil

Struggling with patchy hair loss like alopecia areata? Baicapil might help by reducing inflammation and reactivating growth. There is no published trial of Baicapil in alopecia areata. The anti-inflammatory and hair-density claims come from the ingredient's manufacturer and from laboratory work on its plant extracts, in people with androgenetic-type hair loss rather than autoimmune patchy hair loss.

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.

learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.

learn PP405

Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life. PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.
