learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.

learn Salicylic acid

What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.

learn GHK-Cu

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.

learn Bimatoprost

What do the latest studies say about bimatoprost for scalp hair growth? Bimatoprost is approved only for eyelashes; a 30-person pilot found it beat a topical steroid on patches of alopecia areata, but the two registered Allergan trials in male pattern hair loss were never published and never taken further, so scalp use stays off-label and experimental.

community Does ketokonazole on its own improve androgenetic alopecia?

in Ketoconazole 10 upvotes 5 months ago

Ketoconazole can slightly improve hair density and is best used as an adjunct to treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. It helps with scalp health but won't stop androgenetic alopecia on its own.

The GT20029 tincture, a topical androgen receptor degrader, showed significant hair growth and good safety in a China Phase II trial for male androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with the 1% dose twice weekly identified as optimal.

community We need to keep these snake oil companies accountable.

in Treatment 120 upvotes 2 years ago

Biotin is being misleadingly marketed as a primary treatment for androgenic alopecia, overshadowing more effective treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is a call for increased awareness and accountability to prevent misinformation.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community Dutasteride thins eyebrows and facial hair but doesn't stop scalp loss.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 37 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalp hair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
