Gene variant linked to prostate cancer, hormone levels, and hair loss.

Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.

Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.

The sebaceous gland plays a significant role in hair loss and thinning, and using growth stimulators, DHT inhibitors, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-androgens, and super oxide dismuse substances can help manage it.

Birth control pills can improve or cause acne and hair issues, with improvements more common, and may affect skin pigmentation.

Androgens play a key role in hair growth.

Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.

Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.

The document concludes that treatments like oral anti-androgens, minoxidil, and topical spironolactone can be effective for hair loss in men and women.

The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.

5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride can help treat skin disorders stimulated by androgens, such as hair loss and acne.

Ethinylestradiol/chlormadinone acetate may be an effective and well-tolerated treatment for skin conditions caused by excess androgens.

Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia can occur in children, not just postmenopausal women.

New treatments for hair loss, like JAK inhibitors, PRP, anti-androgens, and minoxidil, offer better options.

Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair loss, but continued research is needed for better treatments.

Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.

COVID-19 can cause different skin symptoms that may help with early diagnosis and show how severe the disease is.

Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).

Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.

Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.

SAHA syndrome is a condition in women involving skin and hair issues, often related to hormonal imbalances, and is treated based on the underlying cause.

The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.

Acne keloidalis nuchae is a tough-to-treat condition that greatly affects quality of life, especially in men of African descent.

High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.

Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.

Baldness caused by male hormones in female-to-male transsexuals doesn't increase the risk of heart disease.

Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.

The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.

Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
