August 2021 in “Case Reports” A woman thought to have rosacea was actually suffering from Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, a hair loss condition. Despite treatment, her condition didn't change, showing the importance of accurate early diagnosis.
Different types of sun exposure damage skin cells and immune cells, with chronic exposure leading to more severe and lasting damage.
January 2020 in “Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology” People with alopecia have shorter hair follicles and more c-kit, a stem cell factor receptor, which could predict how the condition progresses.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
