    TLDR COVID-19 may increase hair loss, and Nourkrin® could help treat it.
    The document "COVID-19 Can Exacerbate Pattern Hair Loss and Trigger Telogen Effluvium – The Role of Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with Nourkrin® in Clinical Treatment of COVID-19 Associated Hair Loss" from December 2020, discussed how COVID-19 can worsen pattern hair loss and trigger a condition called Telogen Effluvium, a form of temporary hair loss. The paper suggested that Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with a product called Nourkrin® could be used in the clinical treatment of hair loss associated with COVID-19. However, the document did not provide specific numbers of people involved in the study, making it difficult to assess the strength of the findings.

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  19 upvotes 2 months ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  36 upvotes 7 months ago
      The user experienced hair loss diagnosed as chronic Telogen Effluvium and male pattern baldness, treated with finasteride and minoxidil, later switching to dutasteride due to side effects but with limited success. The user plans to return to finasteride due to side effects from dutasteride, while others suggest maintaining consistent treatment and considering additional options like oral minoxidil and lifestyle changes.

      community What are some other causes of hair loss?

      The conversation discusses hair loss causes beyond male pattern baldness, mentioning treatments like ketoconazole, zinc shampoo, and finasteride. Stress-related hair loss (telogen effluvium) is also suggested.
