community Progress in miniaturization or time to go to a psychiatrist?

in General 139 upvotes 9 months ago

A 21-year-old is concerned about androgenic alopecia and has been using minoxidil for a year, noticing some stabilization in the hairline but fears using it on the whole scalp due to seborrheic dermatitis. Another person suggests considering a psychiatrist for stress management, using Nizoral shampoo, and possibly trying a small dose of finasteride.

community Regrowth or miniaturisation???

in Is this regrowth? 2 upvotes 6 months ago

A 25-year-old male experiencing hair loss suspects stress-related alopecia and is hesitant to use Minoxidil due to potential side effects. Another user suggests it might be androgenic alopecia and recommends starting finasteride.

community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

in Research/Science 34 upvotes 9 months ago

DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.

community Inflammation's surprising role in shrinking hair follicles and AGA

in Technology 66 upvotes 2 months ago

Inflammation plays a significant role in hair follicle miniaturization and androgenetic alopecia, with treatments like ketoconazole shampoo, minoxidil, and finasteride being used to address it. Users discuss the benefits of anti-inflammatory treatments and peptides like KPV, alongside traditional hair loss treatments, to improve scalp health and hair quality.
