This study observed that patients with burning mouth syndrome had higher levels of cystatin SN in resting saliva compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential biomarker for the condition.
Iron deficiency was identified as the cause of hair loss, not male pattern baldness. The user plans to address it with iron infusions and has used Ketoconazole shampoo for scalp inflammation.
Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
The user experienced significant hair growth after adding ostrich oil and weekly microneedling to their existing treatment of topical dutasteride and minoxidil. They believe the combination of ostrich oil and microneedling contributed to the results, although some users suggest the increased microneedling frequency might be the main factor.
Microneedling can help with hair loss by inducing collagen if done correctly, but improper technique may cause scarring and worsen the condition. Some users apply dissolved vitamin C before and after microneedling to enhance results.
Dutasteride has been used for 20 years with some hair thickness improvement but no dramatic regrowth. The user also experimented with minoxidil, tretinoin, and peptides like BPC 157 for potential benefits in hair density and quality.
