learn Vitamin D

Can Vitamin D deficiency trigger excessive hair shedding? Yes, vitamin D deficiency can trigger excessive hair shedding.

learn Cetirizine

Could cetirizine help control autoimmune triggers in alopecia areata? No published trial has tested cetirizine in alopecia areata; one registered trial has not reported results. Small trials in pattern hair loss report modest benefit, so any use for alopecia areata is off-label and unproven.

learn Metformin

Does metformin help control DHT levels that trigger androgenic alopecia? Metformin has been shown to lower circulating androgens in women with PCOS, but no published study has measured scalp DHT, 5-alpha reductase activity in the follicle, or hair density in anyone taking it — so its effect on pattern hair loss is untested, and it is not a DHT blocker.

learn Hair Transplant

Can a hair transplant cause cancer? Hair transplants do not cause cancer according to most providers.
