community Weird Hair Loss Pattern – Worth a Biopsy?
The user is experiencing a strange hair loss pattern despite using dutasteride for 3 years and minoxidil with tretinoin for 1.5 years. They recently added microneedling and are considering a scalp biopsy to understand the cause.
community Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
A user has been experiencing hair loss for 4 years, with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and various supplements proving ineffective.

community A new study by Deng and colleagues set out to explore differences between balding and non balding scalps...
Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.
community Here are my scalp biopsy results? What does this mean?
The user is experiencing progressive hair thinning despite using finasteride and dutasteride. A biopsy confirmed male pattern baldness, and minoxidil was suggested as an additional treatment.
