community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice

30 upvotes 5 years ago

Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.

community DHT Itch is real. The connection between Acne and Male Pattern Baldness shows this

in Research/Science 64 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses the link between seborrheic dermatitis, acne, and male pattern baldness, suggesting that DHT may cause both skin conditions and hair loss. Treatments mentioned include RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, Nizoral shampoo, and other topical anti-androgens.

community Could male-pattern baldness have a secondary photobiological function? The Solar Window Hypothesis

11 upvotes 1 month ago

Male-pattern baldness might increase UVB exposure on the scalp, potentially affecting vitamin D and skeletal health. The hypothesis is debated, with some seeing it as a minor benefit in specific contexts.

community Does everyone experiencing male pattern baldness have an oily scalp?

in Research/Science 18 upvotes 7 months ago

Male pattern baldness can occur with or without an oily scalp, but an oily scalp and seborrheic dermatitis can worsen the condition. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole shampoo are used, and managing diet and scalp care can help control symptoms.

community Male pattern baldness is not cosmetic.

224 upvotes 10 months ago

Male pattern baldness is linked to health risks and should be treated medically. Finasteride is effective and should be insurance-covered.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Who is a good candidate for scalp micropigmentation? Providers say SMP can suit many kinds of hair loss, but not everyone: active scalp disease, keloid-prone skin, pigment allergy and some medical treatments can rule it out. Get the hair loss diagnosed first.

Mild corticosteroid used on the skin and scalp

learn Dexpanthenol

Provitamin B5, a moisturiser in hair and skin products

learn Clascoterone

Topical androgen-receptor blocker, approved as an acne cream

learn Tretinoin

Vitamin A retinoid cream, prescribed for acne

learn Finasteride

Popular 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT, taken as a pill or used topically

learn Melatonin

Can melatonin cause side effects on the skin or hair? No study links melatonin to hair loss; reports are anecdotal. Some users report scalp dryness or irritation from topical products, and a safety review lists mainly mild side effects such as sleepiness and headache.

learn Follistatin

Can follistatin be applied to the skin, and does any form of it treat hair loss? No study shows that follistatin applied to the skin works, and no form of follistatin is an approved or proven hair-loss treatment. Follistatin injections, "research peptides" and gene therapies sold outside regulated trials are unapproved and of unknown safety.

learn Hyaluronic Acid

Does hyaluronic acid really hydrate the scalp, or is it mainly for skin care? Hyaluronic acid improved hydration of facial skin in trials. It has not been tested on the scalp.

learn Osteopontin
