    GlossaryScalp (scalp skin)

    skin covering the top of the head, rich in hair follicles

    The scalp is the skin and subcutaneous tissue that covers the top of the human head. It consists of five layers: the skin, connective tissue, aponeurosis, loose areolar tissue, and the pericranium. The scalp is rich in blood vessels and hair follicles, making it crucial for hair growth and overall head protection.

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 1 year 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.

      The conversation is about scalp massages for hair loss, with skepticism from users who suggest using finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil instead. Users report no success with scalp massages and consider it a scam.
