Did you mean Perifollicular Infiltrate?

GlossaryPerifollicular Infiltrate

accumulation of immune cells around hair follicles

Perifollicular infiltrate refers to the accumulation of immune cells around hair follicles. This can be a sign of inflammation or an immune response, often seen in conditions like alopecia areata, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss.

community The MPB itch aka DHT itch is very real.

in Chat 9 upvotes 1 year ago

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

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 3 months ago

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 How I started reversing Male Pattern Baldness naturally ?

in Question 6 upvotes 7 years ago

The user reversed male pattern baldness using a pro-thyroid diet, lifestyle changes, and scalp stimulation exercises, without Minoxidil or Finasteride. They reported reduced dandruff, itchiness, oiliness, and experienced hair regrowth and thickening over 15 months.

community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 6 months ago

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.

community Novel effect of sildenafil (cialis) on hair growth

in Research/Science 21 upvotes 2 years ago

Sildenafil (Viagra) shows potential for hair growth by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation and stimulating perifollicular vessel formation. Users discuss the possibility of using Cialis (tadalafil) similarly, noting its benefits and side effects.
