5 / 1000+ resultscommunity The Worst Hair Loss Condition You (MAY) have: LPP
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition causing permanent hair loss and fibrosis, often misdiagnosed. Treatments include pioglitazone, topical corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and Jak inhibitors.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
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.

community Don't know how but this is an accurate depiction
The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, including topical finasteride, oral dutasteride, topical minoxidil, RU58841, peppermint oil, and microneedling. It also mentions lifestyle changes like converting to Islam and avoiding smoking, drinking, and partying.
community Shouldn’t it be impossible for dutasteride to make hair loss worse?
Dutasteride is unlikely to worsen hair loss; shedding is often temporary. Other factors like inconsistent use, placebo effect, or additional treatments may influence perceived results.
