    rare scarring alopecia causing small, irregular hair loss patches

    Pseudopelade of Brocq is a rare, chronic form of scarring alopecia characterized by small, irregularly shaped patches of hair loss that often resemble footprints in the snow. Unlike other types of alopecia, it typically progresses slowly and the cause is unknown, making it challenging to treat effectively.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months 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.
