learn Overview

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Salicylic acid

What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.

learn Bimatoprost

Is bimatoprost effective for people with alopecia areata? Bimatoprost may stimulate hair growth but lacks strong evidence for alopecia areata.

learn Hydrocortisone

When should hydrocortisone be used for hair loss — is it only for irritated scalps or also alopecia areata? Hydrocortisone is a low-potency topical steroid whose labelled use is calming scalp irritation such as dermatitis; for alopecia areata no verified human trial supports it on its own, and dermatologists generally use stronger prescription corticosteroids instead.

learn Tofacitinib

a JAK inhibitor for alopecia areata and other autoimmune conditions

community Insane shed 3 months on Fin + Min Oral

88 upvotes 3 months ago

The user experienced severe hair shedding after starting oral Minoxidil and Finasteride, possibly due to stress from a breakup. Many suggest the shedding resembles alopecia areata and recommend seeing a doctor immediately.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

675 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community DUPA/Retrograde might not be DHT based...GET A BIOPSY QUICK or permanent Hair Loss!

41 upvotes 1 year ago

DUPA and retrograde alopecia may not be solely DHT-based, and a biopsy is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Treatments mentioned include dutasteride, oral minoxidil, pioglitazone, clobetasol, calcipotriol, ketoconazole, and doxycycline, depending on the specific condition.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community is there anything that stops hair loss?

8 upvotes 1 year ago

A user is experiencing rapid hair loss and has been diagnosed with telogen effluvium by multiple dermatologists, but doubts the diagnosis due to the severity and speed of the hair loss. They are considering various treatments like spironolactone, estradiol, and possibly finasteride, while also exploring the possibility of hormonal imbalances or autoimmune issues.
