Molecular Identification of Keratinophilic Fungi Associated With Hair Scalp and Antifungal Activity of Green-Synthesis Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

research Molecular identification of keratinophilic fungi associated with hair scalp and antifungal activity of green‐synthesis zinc oxide nanoparticles

November 2023 in “Journal of Basic Microbiology”

This study explored the fungal diversity on human scalps, identifying 15 genera and 24 species from 18 scalp samples of girls, with yeast-like structures found in 33.3% of cases. Additionally, zinc oxide nanoparticles, synthesized using ginger extract, showed significant antifungal activity against specific species.

research Follicles, fungi and scalp conditions

1 citations , September 2011 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This review discusses advances in understanding the role of Malassezia in seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff, highlighting the significance of the hair follicle infundibulum and the action of zinc pyrithione, but reports no new clinical results.

research Comparison of Healthy and Dandruff Scalp Microbiome Reveals the Role of Commensals in Scalp Health

65 citations , October 2018 in “Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology”

This study observed that dandruff in Indian women is associated with a distinct scalp microbiome, including specific bacterial and unknown Malassezia species, with implications for nutrient homeostasis and cell-host adhesion pathways.

research Effect of two shampoo formulations on the prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbiota composition of the human scalp

September 2023 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

The researchers observed that two non-antimicrobial shampoos caused a significant increase in fungal germs but did not affect the overall scalp microbiota diversity over two weeks, suggesting these formulations may preserve or stimulate the scalp microbiota without adverse effects.

research The role of the microbiome in scalp hair follicle biology and disease

73 citations , April 2019 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review explores the hair follicle microbiome's interaction with the immune system, discussing its potential clinical implications for scalp health and disease but reports no new clinical results.

Topical finasteride can reduce scalp DHT as effectively as oral finasteride with fewer systemic effects, but availability is limited. Some users make their own solutions due to limited access.

community How can ketoconazole shampoo block androgen receptor if it's just washed off?

60 upvotes 10 months ago

Ketoconazole shampoo is primarily used to reduce scalp fungus and inflammation, not to block DHT or androgen receptors. It may help with seborrheic dermatitis and improve scalp health, but its effects on hair loss are minimal compared to treatments like finasteride.

community Hair Loss Recovery Assessment: Removing SebDerm and Using treatment

in Research/Science 8 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair growth success may be linked to addressing scalp fungi issues, with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride being important. DHT may contribute to scalp microbial issues, potentially causing inflammation and hair loss.

community Whats the goal pf Nizoral and Ketoconzole shampoos?

in Ketoconazole 9 upvotes 1 year ago

Ketoconazole shampoos are primarily for dandruff and fungus but may aid hair growth slightly, though results are minor compared to finasteride and minoxidil. Users report it helps with scalp health and inflammation, but it can dry out hair if used too often.

community How to make Azelaic acid solution from powder?

1 upvotes 7 months ago

Azelaic acid is discussed for its anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties, which can improve scalp health and potentially boost hair growth. It is suggested for topical use, especially alongside minoxidil.
