    TLDR The treatment cleared psoriasis in some patients but caused side effects in most.
    The study investigated the effects of the retinoic acid derivative Ro 10-9359 on 15 patients with psoriasis vulgaris, administering up to 100 mg daily. After an average treatment period of 9 weeks, 8 patients experienced clearing of lesions. However, 14 patients reported side effects, including palmo-plantar desquamation, shivering, thirst, and diffuse hair loss. Two patients discontinued due to scaling, and 6 patients showed abnormal liver enzyme values, with some being transient.

      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 Oral minoxidil vs Topical Minoxidil w/ Retinoic acid

      in Minoxidil  6 upvotes 5 months ago
      Topical minoxidil with retinoic acid is effective but causes scalp irritation, leading the user to consider switching to 2.5mg oral minoxidil. Oral minoxidil may cause body hair growth and heart-related side effects, so it's advised to use it under medical guidance.

      Minoxidil is more effective when combined with retinoic acid, such as tretinoin or tazarotene, enhancing hair growth. Some users experience significant regrowth, while others see minimal effects or side effects.
