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.

150 upvotes 3 weeks ago

learn Vitamin D

Vitamin made in the skin from sunlight, also taken as a supplement

learn Cyproterone

a synthetic anti-androgen and weak progestogen that inhibits DHT binding to androgen receptor

learn Dutasteride

5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks both enzyme types, a stronger DHT blocker than finasteride

learn Vitamin B6

What are the signs of a Vitamin B6 deficiency related to hair health? Vitamin B6 deficiency is rare; its recognised signs include skin inflammation such as seborrheic dermatitis, a sore tongue, anemia and nerve symptoms. Hair thinning is not an established sign, and testing is more reliable than guessing and supplementing.

learn Estradiol

Is applying Estradiol directly to the scalp effective for hormone-related hair thinning? There are no good-quality trials showing that estradiol applied to the scalp treats hormone-related thinning. Skin-applied estradiol can still enter the bloodstream and pass to others through contact.

learn Hair Transplant

What are the complications after a hair transplant? Pain and swelling are common. Infection (about 1-2% in the few studies that reported a rate), folliculitis, shock loss, cysts, scarring, poor growth and, rarely, skin necrosis can occur.
What are the risks and side effects of a hair transplant? Reported risks include swelling, redness, folliculitis, numbness, infection, scarring and temporary shock loss; less often skin necrosis, poor graft growth or over-harvesting of the donor area.

learn GHK-Cu

Copper peptide used in skin and hair cosmetics

learn oleic acid

Can Oleic Acid help with dry or irritated scalps that lead to hair loss? Oleic acid-rich oils may feel moisturising, but oleic acid loosens the skin barrier and can trigger flaking in dandruff-prone people. No trial shows it helps scalp-related hair loss.
