bacteria on skin contributing to acne development

Cutibacterium acnes, formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes, is a type of bacteria commonly found on human skin. It plays a role in the development of acne by contributing to inflammation and infection within hair follicles. While it is a normal part of the skin's microbiome, an overgrowth or imbalance can lead to skin issues.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

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.
