autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

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.
