Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processedfoods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
Vitamin deficiencies, particularly in vitamins A, B, C, D, and minerals like iron, zinc, and copper, can lead to hair loss. Dietary changes, such as eating more nutrient-rich foods, can improve hair health.
