Oral antiandrogens effectively treat female hair loss, with better results in higher hair loss grades.

The conclusion is that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires good teamwork between skin doctors and lab experts.

Some people with pattern hair loss may also have scalp inflammation and scarring similar to lichen planopilaris.

Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy are useful for diagnosing and monitoring various skin, hair, and nail conditions.

Accurate diagnosis and effective oral treatment are key to managing tinea capitis and preventing its spread.

Methotrexate treats various disorders by inhibiting DNA synthesis, but careful monitoring is needed to avoid toxicity and manage side effects.

Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a less invasive hair transplant method with minimal scarring, suitable for about 60% of patients, especially those needing fewer grafts and quicker recovery.

Superficial granulomatous pyoderma is a unique, mild form of skin disease that often heals without strong medication and responds well to milder treatments.

Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.

Patients with certain skin symptoms and high ANA titers should be monitored for potential systemic lupus.

Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.

Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.

Androgens, like testosterone, are crucial for early testicular descent in rats.

The document concludes that adenosine receptor agonists have potential for treating various conditions, but only a few are approved due to challenges like side effects and the need for selective activation.

New 5% minoxidil foam effectively promotes hair growth and is safe for use.

Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.

Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
