research Peripheral patterns of calcitonin‐gene‐related peptide general somatic sensory innervation: Cutaneous and deep terminations
The study examined the distribution of calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) immunoreactivity in the peripheral tissues of rats, focusing on its potential nociceptive roles. CGRP-IR was found in small- and medium-diameter sensory ganglion cells, with axons innervating various tissues, including skin, oral epithelium, and deep somatic tissues. In the skin, CGRP-IR axons were associated with dermal blood vessels, sweat glands, and nerve endings, while in deep tissues, they were linked to vasculature and motor end plates. The study suggested that CGRP-IR axons might play a role in tissue maintenance and renewal rather than primarily in nociception.

Dutasteride and Minoxidil can cause initial hair shedding, which is normal and part of the process. Consistency and patience are crucial, as visible improvements may take over three years.
community It seems that topical Minoxidil can also cause pericardial effusion after all
Topical Minoxidil may cause pericardial effusion. Caution is advised when using Minoxidil, even topically.
community Long term fin users (3+ years): Do you still shed periodically?
Long-term finasteride users often experience periodic hair shedding due to natural hair cycles, even after several years of use. Some consider switching to dutasteride, but concerns about side effects and the effectiveness of finasteride remain common.
community Big regrowth after a big shedding period (11 months on fin)
The post discusses a 21-year-old male's significant hair regrowth after experiencing shedding periods during an 11-month treatment with finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, biotin, and dermaroller. The conversation encourages persistence with the treatment despite shedding phases, as hair tends to grow back thicker and longer.
community Female diffuse hair loss on spiro with irregular periods (photos) + genetic hair loss
A 34-year-old woman is experiencing diffuse hair loss and irregular periods, possibly due to long-term spironolactone use. She is considering minoxidil and finasteride for treatment and seeking medical advice for androgenic alopecia and hormonal imbalances.
