This theoretical paper proposes that a subset of Post-Finasteride Syndrome cases may be driven by a gut-derived toxic process involving hydrogen sulphide-producing bacteria, suggesting that the small intestinal microbiome could be a potential target for treating this condition.

Modifying gut bacteria with pro- and postbiotics may help treat hair loss.

This study found that upcycled postbiotic cell-free supernatants from Limosilactobacillus fermentum MG901 and MG4237 protected human dermal papilla cells from oxidative stress, enhancing wound-healing capacity and mitochondrial function, suggesting potential as a sustainable cosmetic ingredient for hair loss alleviation.

This narrative review explores mechanisms linking COVID-19 with hair loss, highlighting how cytokine-mediated inflammation, androgen-regulated TMPRSS2 expression, and direct follicular injury contribute to the condition. It suggests that vitamin D could potentially mitigate this hair loss by suppressing inflammation and viral entry, warranting further research.

In this study, a case of a Spitz dog with refractory dermatophytosis demonstrated marked clinical improvement and complete cure with Posaconazole, highlighting the potential of antifungal susceptibility testing to guide effective treatment in persistent infections unresponsive to standard therapies.

This study reports a case where a young male experienced improved hair condition following individualized homeopathic treatment and integrative therapy after hair thinning post-COVID-19 infection, suggesting potential benefits of non-invasive approaches at Dr Batra’s.

In this study, reports from individuals using Serenoa repens indicated a possible post-Serenoa syndrome characterized by persistent sexual and neuropsychiatric symptoms, with causality assessed as 'probable' in 54% of cases, highlighting an underrecognized safety concern that warrants further investigation.

Dynaplast tape reduces swelling after hair transplants effectively.

This research underscores the significant challenge of managing hair loss after cancer treatment and explores the need to evaluate new topical strategies to promote faster and higher-quality hair regrowth, as existing recovery processes are often slow and sometimes incomplete.

The study suggests that refractory chronic alopecia areata cases have more infiltrating skin resident memory T cells, and using a JAK inhibitor may be an effective treatment option.

This case study describes two postmenopausal women with severe androgen excess symptoms, diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis and stromal hyperplasia, emphasizing the challenges in differentiating these benign conditions from androgen-secreting tumors and the importance of surgical and histopathological evaluation for correct diagnosis and management.

In this prospective study, researchers identified advanced age, androgenetic alopecia, high levels of lactate dehydrogenase and dihydrotestosterone, and low levels of adenosine triphosphate as independent risk factors for posttransplant telogen effluvium, offering insights for optimizing surgical strategies to reduce PTE risk.

This study reviewed preclinical evidence suggesting that topical glutamic acid can enhance hair regrowth and skin healing in burn-induced alopecia, highlighting its potential as a simple, low-cost treatment option that warrants further clinical trials.

In this report, the European Medicines Agency confirmed in 2025 that finasteride, a drug used to treat hair loss in men, is linked to suicidal thoughts, a concern previously raised by patient advocacy groups.

This systematic review found that estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women leads to structural and symptomatic changes in genital and cutaneous tissues, with local estrogen therapy providing short-term benefits, while evidence for device-based treatments remains limited and requires larger trials.

This review highlights that post-oncologic skin suffers from several impairments following cancer treatments, and dermocosmetic strategies, particularly those involving nanocarriers, can enhance the efficacy and stability of antioxidants, thereby aiding skin regeneration and improving quality of life.

This policy brief reports that post-drug syndromes like Post-Finasteride Syndrome are largely overlooked in current pharmacovigilance systems, which prioritize acute drug reactions, resulting in inadequate recognition and management of persistent medication-induced conditions.

This policy brief highlights that post-drug syndromes remain under-recognized in pharmacovigilance, leading to inadequate risk assessments and patient care. It identifies systemic failures in current frameworks and recommends actions to improve long-term drug safety monitoring and education, affecting public health outcomes significantly.

This policy brief found that post-drug syndromes are under-recognized in current pharmacovigilance systems, leading to inadequate risk assessments and prolonged patient harm from persistent drug-induced conditions.

Olive leaf extract may help reduce aging signs in postmenopausal women.

In this study, researchers in India determined that 37.8% of patients experienced alopecia associated with COVID-19, particularly linked to disease severity, stressing the need for careful patient history review to guide treatment and reassurance.

In this case series, the authors reported that postmenopausal hyperandrogenism should be carefully evaluated to diagnose potential androgen-secreting tumors, with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors identified as a common cause.

This article discusses the diagnosis, etiology, and treatment of PTSD, highlighting the complexities and importance of effective psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for reducing symptoms.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism and presumed ovarian origin responded well to GnRH agonist therapy, normalizing testosterone levels and stabilizing blood pressure, suggesting its effectiveness as a non-surgical treatment option.

This study suggests that combining tranexamic acid with low-dose oral retinoids may offer moderate to good improvements for lichen plan pigmentosus, although larger trials are needed for confirmation.

Vitiligo may be linked to stopping finasteride.

In this study, a possible case of Wolf’s isotopic response was observed, where a 72-year-old woman developed superficial basal cell carcinoma at a prior herpes zoster site on her scalp, possibly due to altered local immunity from the zoster episode.

This study reported that postnatal environmental factors, such as childhood height and early hospitalization for immune-related diseases, were associated with an increased risk of testicular germ-cell tumor, with minimal observed variation between seminomas and non-seminomas.

This study conducted in Yemen involving 50 patients found that tissue expansion was effective for correcting scars and defects from post-burn and post-war injuries, achieving a 78% satisfaction rate with minimal complications.

This case report describes a 79-year-old woman who developed alopecia universalis shortly after recovering from COVID-19, highlighting its relapsing nature and the challenges in long-term disease management.
