      research Scalp Microbiome Alterations in Androgenetic Alopecia: Patterns and Emerging Mechanistic Insights

      March 2026 in “International Journal of Dermatology”
      In this study, researchers observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia show differences in scalp microbial communities compared to the general population, including an increase in Cutibacterium acnes, particularly in males, which may interact with lipid and immune pathways to contribute to hair follicle miniaturization.

      research A SYNOPTIC REVIEW ON PRIYALADI LEPA: AN AYURVEDIC TOPICAL FORMULATION FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DARUNAKA (DANDRUFF)

      3 citations , October 2021 in “International Journal of Research in Ayurveda and Pharmacy”
      This study reviewed the pharmacological properties of Priyaladi lepa, an Ayurvedic formulation, and reported its potential anti-dandruff benefits due to anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-pruritic, antioxidant, and exfoliation effects, warranting further research for managing Darunaka (dandruff).

      research Alopecia and the Microbiome: A Future Therapeutic Target?

      March 2021 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas”
      This review discusses the scalp microbiome's unique features and its potential role in hair disorders, suggesting that microbiome-targeted treatments could offer new therapeutic options, though no clinical results are reported.

      research Indian Hair

      May 2026
      This study consolidates information on the unique structural and functional biology of Indian hair, reporting distinct scalp microbial ecology and trichoscopic parameters, which are important for diagnosing and treating hair conditions in Indian populations.

      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.

      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 We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

      in Technology  613 upvotes 4 months ago
      A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
