An imbalance between certain immune cells is linked to a chronic skin condition and may be influenced by obesity, smoking, and autoimmune issues.
research Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Review of Cause and Treatment
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a skin condition possibly caused by hair follicle issues, with treatments focusing on infection and inflammation.
research Congenital Triangular Alopecia: A Close Mimicker of Alopecia Areata
CTA is often mistaken for AA but doesn't respond to steroids and may require hair transplantation.
research Early Stage Alopecia Areata Is Associated With Inflammation in the Upper Dermis and Damage to the Hair Follicle Infundibulum
Early stage bald spots are linked to skin inflammation and damage to the upper part of the hair follicle.

Finasteride helps female-pattern hair loss.
research Trichostasis Spinulosa of the Scalp Mimicking Alopecia Areata Black Dots
A man's scalp condition was misidentified as hair loss dots but was actually a common follicular disorder.
research The Role of Scalp Dermoscopy in the Diagnosis of Alopecia Areata Incognita
Scalp dermoscopy is good for diagnosing a type of hair loss and helps choose the best spots for biopsy.
research Immune-Related Alopecia (Areata and Universalis) in Cancer Patients Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors may develop alopecia, but some hair regrowth is possible with treatment.
