    rare benign skin tumor originating from hair follicles

    Trichofolliculoma is a rare, benign skin tumor that originates from hair follicles. It typically presents as a small, flesh-colored or slightly yellowish nodule, often on the face or scalp, and may have a central pore from which fine hairs emerge. This condition is generally harmless but can be surgically removed if it causes cosmetic concerns or discomfort.

      The user convinced their trichologist to prescribe topical finasteride after using topical estradiol and progesterone for hair maintenance. They also discussed the potential impact of "nofap" on hair loss, noting that abstaining for about four months seemed to reduce shedding.

      community What do you think about this prescription

      in Treatment 2 years ago
      The user visited a trichologist due to ineffective topical finasteride treatment for hair loss. The trichologist recommended a new regimen including a two-month course of locoidon (cortisone 0.1%), followed by a solution containing minoxidil, hydrocortisone butirrate, estrone, progesterone, tocopherol acetate, trichosol, and transcutol.
