Did you mean Perifollicular Inflammation?

GlossaryPerifollicular Inflammation

swelling and irritation around hair follicles

Perifollicular inflammation refers to the swelling and irritation that occurs around hair follicles. This condition can lead to hair loss and is often seen in various types of alopecia, such as alopecia areata. It involves immune cells attacking the hair follicles, which can disrupt normal hair growth and cause damage to the follicle structure.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year 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 Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

in Research/Science 11 upvotes 1 year 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 18 upvotes 3 years ago
