February 2022 in “Actas dermo-sifiliográficas/Actas dermo-sifiliográficas” Hair shaft disorders, often due to genetics or environment, lack specific treatments but can be managed with gentle hair care and may improve with age or topical treatments.
December 2021 in “Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry” Toothpaste containing α-tocopherol acetate, l-menthol, and stevioside can promote hair growth in mice.
December 2020 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Papulopustular rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition treatable with lifestyle changes and medications.
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.
