community Who won’t respond to minoxidil? (Studies)

33 upvotes 6 months ago

Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to differences in sulfotransferase enzyme levels in the scalp, affecting people with conditions like ASD, liver disease, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments like topical tretinoin, microneedling, and using minoxidil sulfate instead of regular minoxidil can improve results for those with low enzyme levels.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 2 years ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

63 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

community My boyfriend’s scalp has white spots all over.

78 upvotes 1 year ago

White spots on a bald scalp, likely tinea versicolor, can be treated with ketoconazole or selenium sulfide shampoos like Selsun Blue. Consulting a dermatologist is recommended for proper diagnosis and treatment.

community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL

413 upvotes 1 year ago

Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Who is a good candidate for scalp micropigmentation? Providers say SMP can suit many kinds of hair loss, but not everyone: active scalp disease, keloid-prone skin, pigment allergy and some medical treatments can rule it out. Get the hair loss diagnosed first.
What is Scalp Micropigmentation and how does it help people with visible hair loss? Scalp Micropigmentation creates the illusion of hair follicles on the scalp for visible hair loss.

learn Cetirizine

What makes cetirizine a unique anti-inflammatory option for your scalp? Laboratory work reports that cetirizine lowers PGD2 and other inflammatory mediators, which is why researchers have proposed it for the scalp. There is no approved topical product and the clinical evidence is a few small trials in pattern hair loss (none in inflammatory scalp disease), so scalp use is off-label and experimental.

learn Hair Transplant

What are the contraindications for hair transplantation? Hair transplantation is not recommended for those with active scalp diseases, insufficient donor hair, or certain medical conditions.

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Are there risks or side effects associated with treatments that increase Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)? In a VEGF gene-therapy trial for leg artery disease, raising VEGF caused more leg swelling, and excess VEGF drives leaky, abnormal vessels in mice and in eye disease. No long-term studies have tested the safety of treatments that raise VEGF in the scalp.
