Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

The herbal hair gel with Eclipta alba and Lippia nodiflora extracts was more effective at growing hair than the control gel and minoxidil.

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.

The document concludes that rib-sparing techniques in breast reconstruction have limited benefits, sentinel lymph node biopsy is needed for desmoplastic melanoma, certain hair preservation methods improve graft survival, partial turbinectomy effectively reduces nasal obstruction, nipple shields with irrigation may reduce capsular contracture, and thicker malignant melanomas have a higher risk of non-skin cancers.

The document concludes that Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome is a benign condition where hair is thin and easily pulled out, often improving with age.

A thorough history and examination are crucial for diagnosing skin diseases, which affect up to a third of people. This includes details about skin lesions, medication, general health, lifestyle, family, and contacts, as well as examining the rash, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. Changes in hair and nails can also indicate other medical and skin disorders.
