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

Hair thinning/loss associated with burning scalp pain. Finasteride helped relieve "DHT itch" for one person.
community Losing Hair on Dutasteride? You might have LPP
Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.
community Does anyone know the main driver for the efficacy of micro-needling?
Microneedling may enhance hair loss treatment by increasing the effectiveness of topical minoxidil, especially for those lacking the necessary enzyme to activate it. It might also work by triggering growth factors and improving topical absorption.
