research Perifollicular inflammation and follicular spongiosis in androgenetic alopecia
This study observed that inflammation in androgenetic alopecia samples was similar to alopecia areata controls, but infundibular and isthmic inflammation were significantly more common in androgenetic alopecia cases.
research Peripilar Sign in Androgenetic Alopecia: Does It Really Indicate Peripilar Infiltrate?
In this study, researchers found that the peripilar sign in patients with androgenetic alopecia does not indicate perifollicular infiltrate but is more frequent in individuals with lighter skin types due to contrast with the skin.
research Perifollicular Inflammation and Fibrosis in Androgenetic Alopecia: Implications for Diagnosis and Treatment - A Comparative Histopathologic and Clinical Study with Normal-Appearing Scalp
This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.
research Inflammatory perifollicular fibrosis and alopecia

5 / 34 resultscommunity Perifollicular Fibrosis and its role in androgenetic alopecia. Is Aminexil/Kopexil a must for anyone with AGA?
Aminexil/Kopexil may help reduce hair loss by addressing perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia, but it lacks the extensive clinical backing of finasteride and minoxidil. Some users find it effective, but availability and cost are issues, especially in the US where it's not FDA-approved.
community Early onset diffuse thinners + nonresponders to oral meds?
A 19-year-old has been experiencing diffuse thinning since age 16 and has not seen improvement despite using minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, and other treatments. Suggestions include increasing dutasteride dosage, using RU58841, and considering topical treatments or a hair transplant.
community Why does the same hormone grow your beard and destroy your hairline?
DHT promotes beard growth but causes scalp hair loss due to inflammation and fibrosis. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil help with hormonal signals and blood flow but don't address underlying inflammation.
community Quote from Pelage (PP-405) Spokesperson...
Pelage is developing a topical hair follicle stem cell therapy, PP405, for non-scarring alopecias like androgenetic alopecia, with Phase III trials planned and a potential market launch by 2027. The treatment may not require continuous use after initial regrowth.
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.
