January 2018 in “International Journal of Trichology” The document discussed post-Finasteride syndrome (PFS), a condition reported by some men using finasteride for hair loss or benign prostatic hyperplasia, characterized by persistent sexual, physical, and cognitive side effects even after discontinuation. Despite reports and some neuroendocrinological research, the scientific community had not recognized PFS due to the low quality and bias of existing studies. The commentary emphasized the need for prospective studies to determine the true incidence of PFS, recommended including dermatologists in further investigations, and highlighted the importance of patient education, appropriate patient selection, and careful management of adverse effects, while acknowledging the significant nocebo effect and psychological factors influencing patient experiences.

November 2021 in “Frontiers in Medicine” December 2022 in “Frontiers in Microbiology” This study investigated the differences in the scalp and gut microbiome between individuals with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and healthy controls in a Korean cohort of 141 participants. The results showed that the scalp microbiome of individuals with AGA had higher alpha diversity indices, particularly in women, indicating a more diverse bacterial community. The study also found that the scalp temperature was higher in men with AGA compared to healthy controls. Additionally, significant differences in hydration parameters were observed in both women and men with AGA. However, no significant differences were found in the gut microbiome diversity based on the presence of AGA. The findings suggest that the scalp microbiome, rather than the gut microbiome, may play a more critical role in the pathogenesis of AGA.
