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.
community Hair loss causes are still a myth.
The conversation discusses the complexity of hair loss causes, suggesting that DHT sensitivity alone doesn't fully explain it. Treatments mentioned include finasteride and dutasteride.
community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?
Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.
community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.
community Why is nobody studying the difference between donor and balding hair?
The conversation discusses why the difference between donor and balding hair isn't studied more to find a cure for hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
